What Are Empty Leg Flights
When a private jet completes a one-way charter, the aircraft often needs to reposition without passengers. That's the empty leg.
Elite Fleet makes these repositioning routes available at significantly reduced rates, typically 50 to 75% below standard charter pricing. The aircraft is the same. The service is the same. The route just happens to align with where the jet is already going.
Private aviation, with access beyond the aircraft. Empty leg routes are one way Elite Fleet helps clients move smarter. But the value does not stop at the flight. Through our broader network across business, sport, hospitality, and member experiences, we help clients access the right routes, the right moments, and the right people with less friction.
Why Empty Legs
Full service. Reduced rate.
Up to 75% Off Standard Rates
The aircraft and service standard remain the same. The pricing reflects the logistics of repositioning, not a reduction in experience.
Same Standards, Same Safety
Every operator in our network holds FAA Part 135 certification. An empty leg flight operates on the same aircraft and under the same safety standards as a full charter.

The Route Opens Up
The aircraft flies without passengers. That availability becomes yours.
