Private Charter – Empty Legs

Monday, August 9th, 2021


As well as providing the very best in service and aircraft, part of our work on your behalf is to secure the most competitive prices possible.

Tremendous savings can be made by making use of “empty legs”. Aviastra maintains a real time and worldwide database of charter jet locations and we compare every flight request to check if these savings can be passed on to you. With a good match of requested routes up to 50% can be saved for an otherwise identical flight compared to those not making use of this highly efficient and cost effective system.

How it works…

Charter aircraft must have costs covered for all sections of a flight, even if the aircraft is empty on its way to pick up passengers or returning to base after the passengers have reached their destination. Clearly then there are lots of aircraft flying around empty that have already been paid for! If a second party of passengers are able to make use of these empty flight sectors, then fantastic savings can be made.

The closer the match of the required flight to that already being flown the greater the discount.

Flight managers are available around the clock if you have questions about this system or if you have a flight enquiry you would like to match up.

Key advantages of empty legs:

  • Up to 50% savings can be made
  • The route required does not need to exactly match that shown as available
  • Flights are available on a range of days
  • Well over a thousand sectors are on our database at any given time
  • This is not aircraft sharing – for your flight it is your aircraft
