Light jets are the most common private aircraft in charter, which means more empty legs post in this category than any other. They carry 4 to 9 passengers, cruise over 400 mph, and shine on 1 to 3 hour stages. This page also covers very light jets and the newer super-light class that stretches light-jet comfort to coast-to-midcontinent range.
Searching for light jet charter? An empty leg is the same aircraft and the same operator, repositioning anyway, typically 35 to 80 percent below the standard charter price. You book direct with the operator. EmpTleg never marks it up.
