What is 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.
Why don’t all listings show prices?
Exact posted prices are revealed to subscribers. Where an operator hasn’t posted one, you’ll see “Call for price” — the operator quotes directly.
Can an empty leg change or sell?
Yes — timing follows the operator’s schedule, and a posted leg can change or sell at any moment. Treat every listing as an opportunity, not a guarantee. Confirm details directly with the operator and be ready to book: serious inquiries get answered, while after-hours or lowball requests may not.
Who operates the aircraft?
Licensed charter operators. EmpTleg is a search and alert service — your flight is arranged with, and operated by, the operator. We’re paid by your subscription, never by your flight: no brokering, no markups, no steering.
Why do flexible dates and nearby airports help?
Legs move with the operator’s schedule. A ±10-day window and a departure or arrival radius let EmpTleg match aircraft that are already moving close to where — and when — you want to fly.
Who’s behind 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.
