Empty leg flights: repositioning flights offered as single legs
Compare current private jet empty legs from different operators in one place.
In short
An empty leg is a flight an operator performs without passengers, usually to reposition an aircraft. Aviqora is a digital private aviation marketplace where operators publish these legs with route, date, seats and their own price, so travellers who are flexible on timing can request them directly from the operator.
When an empty leg makes sense
- Your travel dates and departure times are flexible.
- The published route matches your trip, or is close enough to it.
- You can accept that a leg may be rescheduled or cancelled by the operator.
- You are travelling with a group that fits the aircraft already assigned to the leg.
How to request an empty leg
- Open the empty leg overview and check route, date and seats.
- Open the listing to see the aircraft and the price stated by the operator.
- Send a non-binding request with your passenger count.
- The operator confirms availability and the final terms directly.
Empty legs by market
Empty legs appear where charter traffic creates repositioning flights. These pages explain the charter market in each region:
Empty leg flights – questions and answers
- What is an empty leg flight?
- An empty leg is a flight an operator has to fly without passengers anyway – for example returning an aircraft to its home base after a charter. That repositioning flight can be sold as a single leg.
- Where can I find empty leg flights?
- Aviqora lists empty legs published by operators, with departure and destination, date, seats and the price stated by the provider. You send a non-binding request through the listing and the provider answers directly.
- Why are empty legs cheaper than a regular charter?
- Because the flight already has to take place, operators often offer it below the price of a regularly booked charter. How large the difference is depends on the individual offer.
- What are the limitations of an empty leg?
- Route, date and time window are set by the operator and can only be changed to a limited extent. Empty legs can also be cancelled or rescheduled if the underlying charter booking changes.
