Very light jets are the smallest jets in charter: 4 to 6 passengers, a cabin built for short stages, and the lowest hourly cost of any jet. They are made for trips of one to two hours, and because operators reposition them constantly between short trips, their empty legs are some of the most affordable jet flying there is.
Searching for very 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.
