We are entering a new era in the air travel industry. With the advent of super light jets and other economical choices, the dream and luxury of traveling on a private jet is no longer reserved only for the very rich. Indeed, countless business travelers throughout the world are turning to the jet charter industry for their travel needs–in many cases for not much more than a standard first class ticket.
It essentially breaks down like this: you book an empty leg (a flight on a private jet that would otherwise be travelling with no passengers) for 25%-50% off the standard charter rate. For example, if an air charter going from Los Angeles to Miami is normally $20,000, the cost of the empty leg could be as little as $10,000. By spreading that cost even further amongst your travel companions, you could be flying on a private jet for under $2,000 per person. This is very competitive with the first class prices offered by the commercial airlines. Suddenly, affordable business jet travel is a reality!
With the headaches and hassles of traditional air travel, it makes sense to pursue the purchase of these empty legs. In order to do so, check out the list below that identifies several of the brokerage sites specializing in the buying and selling of these empty legs.
If you are a jet owner, have invested in fractional ownership, or have simply chartered a one way private jet flight and do not wish to pay for the plane to return to it’s hub with no passengers, you may be wondering how you can sell your empty legs. There are several jet charter brokerage services on the market today that will connect you with a large network of buyers who wish to purchase these empty legs. They charge a fee of anywhere between 10% and 20% of the total revenue generated from the sale of the empty leg, but this is reasonable considering that you are likely taking a loss letting the plane fly home empty.
