What Is an Empty-Leg Charter Flight?

An empty-leg flight (also known as a ferry flight or repositioning flight) occurs when a private jet is scheduled to fly without passengers—usually to reposition for its next booking. Rather than flying empty, operators offer these flights at significantly discounted rates, often 50–75% less than the cost of a standard private charter.
