Empty leg flights occur when a private jet is booked by a client for a one-way flight. Once the client has been delivered to their destination, the owner/operator of the jet must still bring it back to the home hangar. This means that these jets are often empty and the operator is flying them at a cost. In order to minimize expenses, operators will often sell the return leg at a greatly reduced price. A passenger at a discounted rate is better than no passenger at all.

Empty leg flights are a win-win option for private jet travel. The operator of the jet is able to avoid flying at a loss, and savvy clients are able to travel in luxury without the prohibitive price tag.
