What is an empty leg flight?

An empty leg is a private jet flight that is already scheduled to fly with no passengers, usually because the aircraft is repositioning to its next booking or returning to base. The operator sells that flight at a discount rather than fly it empty, so the route and the timing are fixed by the operator, not chosen by the passenger.

Does SetFlight operate the aircraft?

No. SetFlight is an air charter broker, not a direct air carrier, and does not have operational control of aircraft. All flights are operated by properly licensed direct air carriers. We source the leg, negotiate it with the operator and paper the trip; the operator flies it.
