Empty-leg flights

Empty-leg flights.

When a jet flies one way to collect passengers or return to base, the empty flight can be chartered, often for less. Listings here come only from licensed operators and approved partners, and each one is priced for the whole aircraft.

Our role: AeroSterling does not own or operate aircraft. We act on your behalf to arrange your flight with independent, licensed air operators. The operator is named before you sign, and nothing is confirmed until the operator confirms in writing. Full disclosure

No empty-leg flights are listed right now.

Tell us your route and dates and we will alert you when a matching flight is listed, and ask operators for one directly.

How empty legs work. Empty-leg flights are one-way positioning flights. If the trip that created the empty leg changes, the operator can move or cancel the flight, so times are shown as a departure window and every listing is subject to operator confirmation. Prices are for the whole aircraft and include all taxes and fees. We never sell individual seats.

Disclosure

Who flies you, and who you contract with.

AeroSterling is not an air carrier and does not own or operate aircraft. We act on your behalf, as your agent, to request quotes and arrange whole-aircraft charter flights with independent air operators that hold the licences and certificates the flight requires. The operator has operational control of every flight. For flights to, from or within the United States we act as an air charter broker under US Department of Transportation rules (14 CFR Part 295), as the customer’s agent. The operating carrier is named in writing before you sign anything. No flight is confirmed until the operator confirms it in writing. We do not take payment for flights on this website.

AeroSterling does not carry its own passenger liability insurance. Passengers are covered by the operating carrier’s liability insurance; we give you the operator’s insurance details with the quote.

  • We do not own or operate aircraft

  • Not confirmed until the operator confirms in writing
  • Whole-aircraft charter only, never individual seats
