Empty leg Paris ↔ Ajaccio
Private jet empty legs between Paris and Ajaccio
View the empty legs listed between Paris and Ajaccio, in both directions, with no connecting flights to Southern Corsica.
Ajaccio is one of the two main air gateways to Southern Corsica. An ‘empty leg’ refers to a flight without passengers, which an operator may offer for booking. The island’s isolated location makes these flights particularly noticeable: a flight offer always specifies the date, the aircraft, the seats available and the price.

Airports on the route
Ajaccio Napoléon-Bonaparte is situated at the far end of the gulf, a short distance from the city centre. In Paris, Le Bourget is the main hub for business aviation departures, ahead of Orly. The specific airport is stated on each published offer.
For what sort of journeys?
The route is mainly used for personal travel — family visits, holidays and short stays — as well as business travel related to the island’s administration and tourism. As with any empty leg, the timetable is based on repositioning flights.
Seasonality and availability
Traffic to Corsica peaks from June to September and around the spring bank holidays. In the low season, traffic becomes sparse: the traffic alert service then becomes the most practical way to keep track of the route.
Why are there empty legs between Paris and Ajaccio?
In business aviation, a jet does not necessarily remain in the city where it drops off its passengers. It may need to return to its base, another airport or the departure point for its next flight. When it makes this journey without passengers, it is known as an empty leg.
Unlike a traditional charter, the route, date and timetable for an empty leg are already set by the operator. Passengers therefore book an existing flight, with less flexibility. As a result, the price is lower than that of a bespoke charter. MarketJet brings together the offers published by its partner operators so that they can all be viewed in one place.
On the route from Paris to Ajaccio
An island destination concentrates arrivals and departures on specific dates, which means that aircraft have to be moved back and forth without passengers. These flights may be open for booking. However, it is impossible to predict their dates or directions.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Ajaccio take?
Approximately 1 h 35 for 930 km. This is an approximate duration, depending on the aircraft and the route across the Mediterranean.
Ajaccio or Figari for Southern Corsica?
Ajaccio serves the west and centre of the island, whilst Figari serves the far south, from Porto-Vecchio to Bonifacio. Both routes have their own page and their own offers.
Are there flights to Corsica all year round?
The route operates all year round, but the number of empty return flights depends on actual passenger numbers: they become much less frequent outside the summer season.
Can an empty leg be booked in both directions?
Each direction is published separately. An empty leg is a one-way flight: the presence of an offer in one direction does not mean there is one in the other, nor on the date that suits you.
Does the price cover the whole aircraft or just one seat?
On an empty leg, the price shown is for the flight itself, subject to the number of seats specified in the offer; passenger taxes are added to this depending on the number of travellers. Shared flights, on the other hand, are booked seat by seat.
Why are there no flights available at the moment?
This is because no operator has published a repositioning on this route at the moment. Offers appear according to operators’ needs and are withdrawn as soon as they are booked: an alert remains the most reliable way to be notified.
