Business Aviation in the age of innovation: the central role of repositioning or Empty flights Legs

In the ever-changing skies of business aviation, where operational efficiency and environmental sustainability are imperatives, lies a unique challenge: the phenomenon of "emptyleg" flights. These flights, carried out by private jets without passengers to return to base or reposition themselves for the next customer, account for up to 40% of flight operations in the sector. While this practice is often seen as a costly constraint, it also conceals untapped potential.

‍Advantagesand Challenges of Empty Leg Flights

Empty leg offers attractive opportunities, including reduced fares for passengers wishing to sample the efficiency of private jets without the usual cost. However, their unpredictable nature poses a major planning challenge for operators and customers alike, resulting in frequent itinerary changes and low load factors, reflecting an under-utilization of resources.

In your search, you should read the flight conditions carefully. As the chances of cancellation at the last minute may be greater or lesser depending on the operator, you need to be sure of reimbursement and a fallback solution from the airline, which may be professional enough to offer you another "one way" solution in all cases.
