Is this for you
Flexibility Is The Whole Price
An empty leg works
- Dates can move by hours or a day
- Either end of the route is negotiable
- One-way is all you need
- You can decide inside 24–72 hours
Book a normal charter
- A fixed meeting or event
- A specific cabin or aircraft
- A return on a set date
- Peak holidays, when little repositions
An empty leg exists because an aircraft is already moving. If the primary passenger changes their itinerary, the sector changes or disappears — that risk is what the discount pays for.
Timing
When The Deals Actually Appear
-
Outside the peaks
Low season and the weeks between major international events. During Christmas–New Year and July–August, fleets are utilised and little repositions empty.
-
Crew duty sets the window
Duty limits are counted in block hours and duty periods against WITA, so a sector that looks available on paper may not be flyable at the hour you want.
-
Land between 10:00 and 16:00
It balances smoother ground handling against resort check-in, which usually opens 14:00–15:00.
-
Use one inside a longer tour
A full-price sector in, an empty leg out. Bali, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Perth combine well this way.
Questions
Empty Legs, Answered
What does an empty leg cost?
As of August 2026, roughly USD 8,000–15,000 for shorter hops such as Jakarta, Singapore or Perth on a light jet, rising toward USD 25,000 for larger aircraft and longer sectors. The saving against a standard quote is typically 30–60%.
Is it worth the uncertainty?
If your dates can move, yes — the discount is real and the safety baseline is identical, because the flight is operated by the same licensed AOC holder. If your dates cannot move, the risk is not worth it.
What is included?
Exclusive use of the aircraft for the booked sector, crew, fuel, standard catering and handling at WADD/DPS. It is a normal charter in every respect except that the aircraft was already going.
When should I aim to land?
Between 10:00 and 16:00 WITA. Most five-star resorts in South Bali open check-in around 14:00–15:00, and that window keeps ground handling smooth on both sides of it.
Can an empty leg start a longer trip?
Often. It works well as the first or last sector of an Asia-Pacific itinerary — the empty leg gets you in or out, and the rest is quoted normally.
Tell Us Where And Roughly When
Empty legs are published as aircraft commit to moving, so the useful thing to send is a route and a window — not an exact date.
