Relying on scheduled aircraft is very risky. Every day there are canceled flights, lost or damaged luggage, and uncomfortable conditions at the airport or on the plane itself. All these problems translate into a waste of time and generate unnecessary stress – and this is the last thing you need before an important conversation with a key client or at the start of a family vacation. The solution is private charter flights. Importantly, their cost can be significantly reduced by using the so-called empty legs.
Empty legs – meaning
The phrase “empty leg” means a flight without passengers. It is a technical flight – the plane simply returns to its destination after delivering the passengers to the agreed place, or vice versa – it to collect them.
Charter flight operators often allow their customers to use the empty leg. This is a much more economical solution for both parties to the transaction, but also much more environmentally friendly. Depending on the company, there are empty domestic, international and even intercontinental flights. This is a cheaper alternative than standard charter flights, and at the same time much more comfortable than even business class on board large scheduled airliners.
Empty legs – private jet
All companies offering transport services face empty vehicle routes – from one-person taxi operations to the largest airline operators. Companies from the TSL sector try to deal with this issue by transporting various goods and optimizing their routes. In the case of regular courses, this is much easier than when the date and destination are decided by the client.
Empty legs in charter flights cannot be eliminated, but they can be approached responsibly – i.e. by allowing potential passengers to use an empty plane. Sometimes our plans are so flexible that we can adapt them to an opportunity to fly at a good price – it would be a shame not to take advantage of it!
Empty legs – Europe
Ferry flights are very popular in Europe. The relatively short distances between major cities make wasting time at the airport extremely irritating. Entrepreneurs, representatives of the world of politics, sports, show business and art regularly use private charters.
Follow our website and social media. Whenever there is an opportunity to use empty leg, we immediately inform about it on all channels. This is a socially and environmentally responsible action, and at the same time enabling customers to travel both in comfortable conditions and at lower price.
Empty legs – price
The cost of an empty leg is calculated individually each time because it depends on many factors. Of course, the route the machine will cover is important, but also the type of aircraft and the place where it will take off and land.
As a reliable company, we inform the customer about the price of a given empty leg in advance, after contacting our service office.
