Empty leg flights are private jet repositioning flights sold at 40–75% below standard charter rates. They occur when an aircraft drops off passengers and must fly empty back to base or to its next booking. VOLO monitors real-time empty leg inventory across thousands of operators — a New York–Miami light jet empty leg typically costs $4,000–$8,000 vs. $15,000–$22,000 for a standard charter. Availability is 0–14 days before departure; the best deals appear within 72 hours of flight time.

Después de que un jet privado completa un chárter, a menudo necesita volar vacío a su próximo punto de salida o base. Estos vuelos de reposicionamiento, conocidos como tramos vacíos, representan una oportunidad única de volar en privado con ahorros de hasta 75%.
La IA de VOLO monitorea continuamente los movimientos de flota en nuestra red global de operadores, asociando vuelos de tramos vacíos disponibles con sus preferencias de viaje y alertándole en el momento en que aparece una oportunidad relevante.
Los vuelos de tramos vacíos ofrecen exactamente la misma aeronave, tripulación y servicio que un chárter estándar. La única diferencia es el precio.

Illustrative pricing. Actual empty leg rates depend on availability, aircraft condition, and operator. Standard charter rates are all-inclusive estimates for 2026.
Minor time adjustments (1-3 hours) are often possible depending on the operator's schedule. Significant changes are usually not feasible since the flight timing is dictated by the primary charter booking. Your VOLO advisor will clarify flexibility for each specific empty leg.
Empty legs are typically 40–75% below standard charter rates. Examples: New York–Miami Phenom 300E $6,000–$8,000 vs $18,000 standard (55–67% saving); London–Ibiza Citation CJ4 $7,000–$10,000 vs $22,000 standard (54–68%); New York–London Challenger 350 $40,000–$60,000 vs $120,000 standard (50–67%). Discount size depends on how urgently the operator needs to clear the position.
Yes — if the primary inbound booking cancels, the empty leg is typically withdrawn. This is the key risk of empty leg bookings. VOLO notifies you immediately if your confirmed empty leg is cancelled and prioritizes finding an equivalent alternative. Cancellation rates are low (under 8% of confirmed empty legs) but higher than standard charter.
