When an aircraft has to fly back empty to its base, that leg opens up as an empty leg. Same aircraft, same service, same operating standard — at a rate far below that of a full charter flight.
Empty legs are posted with little notice. Leave us your route and we’ll reach out as soon as a compatible leg opens up.
An empty leg is not a second-rate flight: it’s the same aircraft and the same standard.
Legs open up with little notice. We alert you the moment your route appears.
More than two decades of track record in executive aviation in Mexico.
Every time we drop passengers at a destination, the aircraft has to return to its base or continue on to pick up the next client. That leg is flown either way, empty, and its cost is already committed. Opening it to the public lets us recover part of that expense and lets you fly private for a fraction of the usual price.
The trade-off is flexibility: the route and schedule are set by the movement of the fleet, not by your calendar. If you can adjust your dates, it’s the most affordable way to fly by private jet. If you need full control of the itinerary, a custom-quoted flight is the better fit.
Share your origin, destination and how much flexibility you have with dates. The more flexible you are, the more options appear.
As soon as a compatible leg opens up we contact you with the aircraft, schedule and rate. It’s usually days — sometimes hours — in advance.
If the leg works for you, confirm it and you’re set. Same service and same private-terminal access as on any flight in the fleet.

Alert me about empty legsIt’s a leg the aircraft has to fly without passengers: the return to its base after dropping off a client, or the repositioning flight to go pick up the next one. Since that flight will happen anyway, it’s offered at a preferential rate. We explain it in depth further down this page.
The savings are significant because the cost of the leg is already committed, but they vary with the route, the aircraft and how close the date is. Each leg is priced individually; when we alert you to an available one, you’ll see the exact rate before committing.
Not far, and that’s their nature: an empty leg exists because someone just booked a flight. They’re typically known days in advance, sometimes hours. That’s why it’s best to join the alert list rather than checking manually.
No. The origin, destination and departure window are set by the movement of the aircraft. There’s little room to adjust, and in some cases none. If you need full control of the itinerary, a custom-quoted flight is what you want, not an empty leg.
Yes. It’s the same aircraft from our fleet, the same crew and the same private-terminal access. The only thing that changes is how the flight originated and, as a result, what it costs.
Yes. Legs are assigned in order, and members get the alert first, along with other conditions on the fleet. You can see how it works in memberships.
The empty leg is the most accessible gateway into private aviation, but it plays by different rules than a custom-quoted flight. Understanding them is the difference between landing an exceptional rate and getting frustrated waiting for a route that never appears.
A private jet doesn’t live at the airport you’re flying to. It has a base, and a schedule that moves it between clients. Every time it drops passengers at a destination, one of two things happens: it returns empty to its base, or it repositions empty toward wherever its next flight is waiting. That passenger-free leg is called an empty leg, a ferry flight or a repositioning leg — the same concept under different names — and its operating cost is already committed no matter what.
It’s worth saying plainly, because it’s the number-one source of misplaced expectations:
If any of those points doesn’t work for you, a custom-quoted flight is the better option; you can request a tailored estimate on our quote your flight page.
Based in Toluca, the most common empty legs connect central Mexico with the destinations of highest executive and leisure demand: Monterrey, Guadalajara, Cancún, Los Cabos, Querétaro, Puerto Vallarta, Tijuana, Mérida and Acapulco, plus routes toward the southern United States. Availability changes every week depending on the flights that have been booked.
The custom-quoted private flight is designed by you: route, schedule and aircraft tailored to your needs. A charter is booking a complete aircraft for a specific itinerary. An empty leg means taking advantage of a leg that was already going to fly: same service, much lower price, but no control over the itinerary. All three use the same fleet and the same certified operation.
Register with a clear route and the widest range of dates you can offer; be realistic about the number of passengers and luggage, since they determine which aircraft apply; and respond quickly when we alert you, because legs are assigned in order of confirmation. If you fly with some regularity, our memberships program gives you priority on that alert.
Leave us your route and your date flexibility. It costs nothing to be on the list, and the day a compatible leg appears you’ll be among the first to know.
