What's an empty leg?

Private jets often fly empty, heading home after a drop-off or repositioning for the next pickup. Rather than fly empty, operators sell those flights at deep discounts: typically 35% to 80% off the cost of booking the same flight as a charter, often several thousand dollars in savings. They appear fast, disappear faster, and are scattered across hundreds of operators. We put the best of them in one place.

Why EmpTleg

Built by aviation professionals: AmeriCharter has worked private aviation since 2004, and those years of operator relationships and market knowledge go into every listing. A curated source, not a directory of everything: qualifying legs from established, verified charter operators.

We're paid by your subscription, never by your flight. Unlike sites that resell empty legs at a markup, we add nothing to the price — no brokering, no markups, no steering. Subscribers deal directly with the operator, negotiate their own deal, and keep the discount a middleman would have pocketed. Operators know EmpTleg inquiries come from paying subscribers ready to book.

No other service we know of pairs a live interactive route map with search this deep — flexible dates, departure and arrival radius, aircraft category — and new features ship regularly.
