Empty Legs Listing Announced By New Flight Charters

Largest Public Listing Includes Over 200 Jet Charter Empty Legs Nationwide Sourced And Published By Top-Rated Jet Charter Brokerage

New Flight Charters, a nationwide leader in private jet charter and the most accredited jet U.S. charter broker, announces the largest public listing of empty legs in the jet charter industry. The company now is listing over 200 upcoming and available empty legs from U.S. private charter aircraft.

Also known as "dead-heads" or "ferry flights", empty legs are flights without passengers on board when an aircraft needs to be moved. Often a private charter jet will have empty leg flights associated with an existing flight schedule - when it needs to move to another location to start a charter, or return back to base after completing a charter, or similar situations for its owner flights.

These empty legs, when an aircraft needs to fly a certain direction, can be a unique opportunity for a discounted jet charter. Aircraft can be re-routed to accommodate a charter flight need. For example, an empty leg from Houston to Denver can be rerouted for a Dallas to Aspen charter at a lower than normal cost.

Rates will vary since each empty leg charter is unique, but pricing is typically 30-50% lower than standard charter quotes.

"When an empty leg matches up with a flight need, there is no better value in private flying," commented Rick Colson, New Flight Charters' president. "With with the largest aircraft resource of 7,598 in the U.S., New Flight Charters can custom-source ideal options for any aircraft type, ratings or amenities, for any requested charter, and with a best-price guarantee."

A second attractive and lower cost solution are floating fleets. The fastest-growing segment in private jet charter are non-based "floating fleet" aircraft with better point-to-point, one-way pricing. These can be available for all types of flying, from shorter one-hour flights to coast-to-coast and international flights. Floating Fleet aircraft do not have to return to a base, and thus can be more cost-effective charter options.

435 floating fleet jets from 39 operators are available nationwide through New Flight Charters; all sizes from light jets to ultra long-range jets such as the Global 5000. Charter quotes for these floating fleet aircraft are typically 15-30% less than traditional based aircraft.
