In private aviation, an Empty Leg is a flight a private jet needs to operate without passengers in order to reposition for its next mission or return to a particular operating base.
When the aircraft must make that journey anyway, its available seats can become a travel opportunity. Destination, airport, date and departure time are determined by the aircraft's operational schedule and may therefore change.
With K Air 79, this becomes part of a dedicated service for passengers looking for a different way to access private jet travel compared with a conventional dedicated charter.
With the K Air 79 Empty Leg annual membership, members can access the Empty Leg flights made available by K Air 79 without paying the normal flight cost for the Empty Leg sector, subject to availability and programme conditions.
This does not mean freely choosing any destination and departure time as with a dedicated private jet charter. Instead, members take advantage of a journey that the aircraft is already scheduled to operate.
Milan, London, Naples and other destinations progressively covered by K Air 79 operations can therefore become departure or arrival points for Empty Leg opportunities, depending on actual aircraft movements.
The eligible Empty Leg flight is included in the annual membership. Passengers remain responsible for excluded charges, where applicable, including insurance for the individual journey, applicable taxes or duties relating to private air transport, and airport fees and charges.
These amounts are calculated separately because they may vary according to departure and arrival airports, route, number of passengers, applicable regulations and airport services required. K Air 79 communicates applicable additional costs before flight confirmation.
Empty Legs are particularly suitable for passengers with flexibility regarding dates, times and destinations. Routes arise from actual fleet operations rather than a schedule created specifically for an individual passenger.
Availability on a specific route or date therefore cannot be guaranteed, and an Empty Leg may change or be cancelled if the primary mission generating the repositioning flight changes.
This flexibility is an essential part of the Empty Leg concept.
The K Air 79 Empty Leg membership complements private flights, business aviation and jet charter services with an alternative designed for travellers able to adapt their plans to opportunities generated by fleet operations.
Rather than purchasing one specific route, members gain access throughout the year to available Empty Leg opportunities and decide which ones fit their travel plans.
FAQ
What is an Empty Leg flight?
It is a repositioning flight that a private jet needs to operate even when no passengers are scheduled for that sector.
Is the K Air 79 Empty Leg flight free with membership?
The membership provides access to eligible available Empty Legs without the normal flight cost, subject to programme conditions. Insurance and applicable taxes, airport fees and other excluded charges remain payable.
Can I choose my destination, date and time?
Not freely. Empty Legs depend on actual fleet movements. Members choose from the opportunities available.
Can a confirmed Empty Leg change?
Because it originates from another operational mission, changes to that mission may affect the Empty Leg according to the service conditions.
Why aren't airport charges included?
Because they can vary according to the airports, route, passengers and services involved.
