‘New Flight Charters’ Announces Largest Public Listing of Private Jet Charter Empty Legs

Over 200 Nationwide Jet Charter Empty Legs are Updated and Publicly Available through Top-Rated Jet Charter Brokerage

Private Jet Empty Legs List, Deadheads, Empty Flights

DENVERNov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — New Flight Charters, the leading On-Demand private jet charter brokerage, now publishes the largest public listing of empty legs in the jet charter industry comprised of over 200 upcoming and available empty legs from U.S. private charter aircraft.

The updated listing is public and easily referenced on any device or computer by bookmarking the online Empty Legs List.  The company’s Best Price Guarantee applies, also to private charter flights of any kind. 

Empty Legs

Known sometimes as “dead-heads” or “ferry flights”, empty legs are flights without passengers on board when an aircraft needs to be moved.  Often a private charter jet will have empty leg flights associated with an existing flight schedule- when it needs to move to another location to start a charter, or return back to base after completing a charter, or similar situations for its owner’s flights. 

These empty legs, when an aircraft needs to fly a certain direction, can be a good opportunity for a discounted jet charter.  Aircraft can be re-routed to accommodate a similar charter flight need.  For example, an empty leg from Houston to Denver can be rerouted for a Dallas to Aspen charter at a lower than normal cost.

Empty Leg Pricing

Quotes will vary since each empty leg charter is unique, but pricing is typically 30-50% lower than standard charter quotes. 

Ten examples from the current Empty Legs Listing of over 200 flights:

  • Miami Fl – Teterboro NJ, Gulfstream IV-SP, heavy jet, Nov.27-28, $17,000
  • Jackson Hole WY – Las Vegas NV, Citation CJ3, light jet, Nov.30, $5,500
  • Teterboro NJ – St. Maarten, Hawker 900XP, midsize jet, Dec.1, $16,800
  • San Francisco CA – Seattle WA, Challenger 350, super-mid jet, Dec.1, $14,500
  • Denver CO – San Diego CA, Citation Sovereign+, super-mid jet, Dec.1, $9,200
  • Van Nuys CA – Sun Valley ID, Gulfstream IV-SP, heavy jet, Dec.2, $13,600

“When an empty leg matches up with a flight need, there is no better value in private flying,” commented Rick Colson, New Fight Charters’ president.  “With with the largest aircraft resource of 7,598 in the U.S., New Flight Charters sources ideal options for any requested charter including empty legs, based and floating fleet aircraft, and with the industry’s only Best Price Guarantee.”

Floating Fleets

A second attractive and cost savings solution are floating fleets.  The fastest-growing segment in private jet charter are non-based “floating fleet” aircraft with better point-to-point, one-way pricing.  These can be available for all types of flying, from shorter one-hour flights to coast-to-coast and international flights.  Floating Fleet aircraft do not have to return to a base, and thus can be more cost-effective charter options.

453 floating fleet jets from 40 operators are available nationwide through New Flight Charters; all sizes from light jets to ultra long-range jets such as the Gulfstream V and Global 6000.  Charter quotes for these floating fleet aircraft are typically 15-30% less than traditional based aircraft. 

Any requested charter can be fully customized for aircraft, size, type, and amenities along with desired ratings or registrations from ARGUSÒ, Wyvern Ltd.Ò, IS-BAO or the Air Charter Safety Foundation.

    Jet Charter Pricing Q & A:
    Q: Can I get a private jet charter flight for under $10,000?

    A: It’s very rare. If a flight of 1-hour or less matches up with a light jet empty leg, it may be under $10,000 total.  Executive turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air series will typically be under $10,000 for a 1-hour flight or same-day round trip in many parts of the country.  See example costs above.

    Q: What about the articles I see about empty legs for dirt cheap, same as airline fares, or even 1/2 price?

    A: There is a market for all flights, and a well-fitting empty leg will typically be around 75% of standard pricing. Keep in mind, Empty Legs are a convenient marketing angle to attract interest.  Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true…

    Q: How far in advance is best for quotes and booking? The earlier the better?

    A: Not usually. Different from the airlines, the best jet charter quotes and availability are less than 2 months in advance, often less than 1 month. Typically specific aircraft availability and pricing are not set further in advance.

    Q: When is the best time to find an empty leg?

    A: Most jet charters book less than 2 weeks in advance, so that is when the most empty legs become available in aircraft schedules.

    Q: I hear about floating fleets with one-way pricing, what is that?

    A: The biggest trend in jet charter the past decade is specific fleets that string one-way flights together in their schedules, reducing the positioning costs of traditional charters, thus allowing for reduced ‘one-way’ pricing. These are often the best cost options for one-way flights of 2 hours or more. These are the same fleets most jet cards and memberships use to minimize their costs below the rates their customers are paying.

    Q: Are there exceptions? If a jet is flying empty anyway, won’t they take me for cheap for at least some income?

    A: There is a market for flights in the charter industry, so each flight has a market value even up to hours before. Also, flying under charter’s FAA Part-135 regulations is more restrictive, expensive and consuming than flying empty repositioning under Part-91.

    Q: The airline tickets for this trip are so expensive, if 6 of us chartered our own jet could it be similar or not much more?

    A: See the above actual average costs

    Q: Are the above example charter costs your set rates or guaranteed?

    A: No, but they are typical and what we would expect as every-day best in the charter market. For a specific date and itinerary quotes may be a little lower or a bit higher, however we would expect in most cases to be in this range. We do have the widest availability and guaranteed best price industry-wide.

    Q: How can I get a quick real estimate of what a flight might cost, for our decision-making?
