FAQ
Empty leg flights, explained
What is an empty leg flight?
An empty leg is a one-way private aviation repositioning flight. The aircraft is already paid for by another client and would otherwise fly empty back to base — so operators sell the seats at 30–75% below a standard charter price.
How much can I save on an empty leg?
Typical savings range from 30% to 75% versus a comparable one-way private charter. Helicopter empty legs on short corridors often start at €1,200–€2,500 per aircraft.
Can I change the date or route?
Empty legs are tied to a fixed schedule and airport pair. Small timing adjustments (±1–3 hours) are sometimes possible. If the route doesn't fit, request a custom charter quote and we will route your brief to verified operators — response times depend on operator availability.
Are the operators verified?
Every operator on SkyMatch is screened for AOC, insurance and operational history. Verified, Premium and Top Performer badges are displayed transparently on each listing.
How fast can I book?
Most empty legs can be confirmed within 60 minutes. Same-day departures are available subject to operator availability and slot approval.
