Explore Empty Leg Flights

A unique opportunity to see what it’s like to fly as a
Magellan Jets Private Client at a reduced cost.

Empty Legs occur when a private jet needs to be repositioned to another destination, and is flown without passengers on board. Through the Magellan Jets empty leg flights program, Private Clients gain exclusive access to these one-way journeys. A dedicated Private Aviation Advisor coordinates every detail from inquiry through wheels-up.

 

Why Fly Empty Legs With Magellan Jets

Because Magellan Jets holds no aircraft of its own, every empty leg recommendation comes without fleet-utilization pressure. Each match is made entirely in the interest of your journey, not an inventory need. Your Private Aviation Advisor identifies the right aircraft and timing from our Preferred Network of fewer than 100 vetted operators, each selected solely on merit.

Captains in the Preferred Network average 9,700+ flight hours, and every operator carries $100M to $300M in liability insurance. Continuous monitoring and independent audits are applied to each aircraft, without exception.

“It’s a privilege to fly private from time to time with Magellan Jets, but more importantly, when we need Magellan, they’re always there for us. For our players, for people in our front office. They’re very focused on the customer experience.”

Sam Kennedy
President of the Boston Red Sox

Stay Ahead Of Rare Availability

Empty leg flights are time-sensitive by nature. They appear when aircraft need to reposition and can be claimed quickly. Sign up for empty leg alerts and your Private Aviation Advisor will notify you the moment a relevant one-way journey becomes available on your preferred routes.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

An empty leg flight is a repositioning trip in which a private jet flies without passengers to return to its home base or reach the departure point for its next scheduled flight. These one-way routes become available to Private Clients when the aircraft is already committed to fly, making specific routes accessible on short notice.

For Private Clients whose route aligns with available repositioning flights, empty legs offer an exceptional way to experience the Magellan Jets standard of service firsthand. Every aircraft in the Preferred Network meets the same vetting threshold, so the quality of the journey is never a variable. Only the route and timing differ.

Use the search tool above to browse current availability by route and date. Once you find a match, submit an inquiry and your dedicated advisor coordinates directly with the operator on every logistical detail, from catering to ground transportation, so everything is handled before you board.

Availability varies. Some empty legs are listed days in advance while others appear with just hours of notice. Subscribing to empty leg alerts ensures you are among the first to know when a relevant route opens up, giving you the best opportunity to secure the right flight.

Yes. Every empty leg through Magellan Jets is a full private charter, with exclusive use of the aircraft for you and your traveling party. No shared seating or semi-private configurations apply.

Because empty legs are tied to another Private Client’s primary itinerary, schedule changes can occasionally affect availability. Your Private Aviation Advisor will communicate any changes immediately and work to identify an alternative solution, whether that is a comparable empty leg or an On-Demand Charter option that keeps your plans on track.
