An empty leg flight is a one-way private jet journey offered at a significant discount when an aircraft needs to reposition for its next charter or return to base. This guide explains how they work, the pros and cons, and how to find them.

The average hourly rate for chartering a heavy jet in 2026 is between £10,000 and £18,000. This rate depends on the aircraft model, age, route, and market demand, and excludes additional costs like positioning, taxes, and fees.

A pre-owned private jet can be purchased in 30-90 days, while ordering a new, custom-built jet from a manufacturer can take 18-36 months or more.
