FAQ
Empty leg flights, explained
What is an empty leg flight?
An empty leg (or 'ferry flight') is a one-way repositioning flight that a helicopter or private jet must perform anyway — with no passengers on board. Operators sell that leg at a steep discount instead of flying empty.
How much do empty leg flights cost?
Empty legs are typically 30–50% below the equivalent one-way charter price. On short helicopter corridors (e.g. Nice ↔ Monaco, Dubai ↔ Abu Dhabi) prices often start from €1,200–€2,900 per aircraft, not per seat.
Are empty legs safe?
Yes. Empty legs are performed by the same certified operators, on the same aircraft, with the same crews as full-price charters. Every SkyMatch operator is screened for AOC, insurance and safety history.
How do I book an empty leg?
Click any live opportunity on this page — we pre-fill your quote request with the route, date and aircraft. Our concierge confirms availability with the operator, typically within an hour.
Can I change the route or date?
Empty legs are tied to a fixed schedule and airport pair. Small timing shifts of a few hours are sometimes possible. If the route doesn't match, we source a custom charter or alert you when a matching leg is filed.
Do you charge travellers any fees?
No. SkyMatch Group is free for travellers. We are compensated only by operators when a booking completes.
