Empty Legs: Private Jet London to Ibiza.
One-way repositioning legs on the LON ↔ IBZ corridor surface through our partner broker network as regular charters are confirmed. Register your interest and brokers will alert you when something matches.
What an empty leg actually is.
When a charter client books a one-way flight, say Farnborough to Ibiza, the aircraft must reposition back. The operator would rather sell that return sector than fly it empty, so it is offered through broker networks at a significant discount: typically fifty to seventy percent below a full charter rate.
The discount
50–70% off
Typical saving versus a full charter on the same routing and aircraft, because the operator's fixed costs are already covered by the originating booking.
The constraint
Fixed route
The aircraft goes from A to B on the operator's schedule, not yours. Route, aircraft type and timing are set by the originating charter. Not negotiable.
The timing
Short notice
Many legs surface 24–72 hours before departure. Flexibility on dates is essential. A fixed itinerary rarely aligns with available repositioning inventory.
When an empty leg makes sense, and when it doesn't.
The LON ↔ IBZ corridor generates repositioning legs with reasonable regularity in season, and almost none out of season. When demand flows strongly in one direction (outbound on Fridays, inbound on Sundays), the return leg becomes an empty that the operator needs to sell.
For a traveller who can flex their dates by 24–48 hours and is genuinely open to either direction, there is a real opportunity. For a traveller who needs a specific aircraft on a specific day, the honest answer is a full charter, which is the product that reliably delivers.
The empty leg that everyone wants is the one flowing in the same direction as peak demand. It tends not to exist, because it would have been sold as a full charter.
The most reliable way to access empty legs on this corridor is through a broker who handles significant volume on the route. They receive advance notice before legs appear on public platforms, and they can structure the booking to protect you if the originating charter is cancelled, which is the most common failure mode.
