What Are Empty Leg Flights?

Empty leg flights, also known as repositioning flights or one-way charters, are private jet flights that operate without passengers to move an aircraft from one location to another. These flights occur when a private jet is not booked for a return journey and needs to be repositioned to its home base or to accommodate maintenance schedules. As these flights would have operated regardless of whether they were booked or not, they are often significantly cheaper than regular private jet charters.
