Empty leg flightWhat are empty leg flights?
An empty leg flight occurs when a private jet needs to travel from one location to another without any passengers on board. This typically happens when an aircraft is returning to its home base after dropping off a client, or repositioning ahead of its next charter booking.
Since the aircraft is flying regardless, JB Private Jets makes these seats available at substantially reduced rates. You enjoy the exact same level of service, luxury, and privacy as a standard private charter, the only difference is the price you pay.
How much can you save on an empty leg flight?
Empty leg flight costs are considerably lower than those of a standard charter. Depending on the route and aircraft type, savings of up to 50% compared to the regular price are entirely within reach.
The route, aircraft type, availability, and number of passengers determine the price of an empty leg flight. At JB Private Jets, we are transparent about our rates. You always know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees.
