Airports on the route
Amsterdam Schiphol has a dedicated area for business aviation; Rotterdam-The Hague is an alternative to the south of the Randstad. In Paris, departures are concentrated at Le Bourget. The selected airport is specified in the quote and cannot be changed.
For what sort of journeys?
The corridor is predominantly business-oriented: European headquarters, logistics, trading and financial services. Half-day meetings are commonplace here, but with an empty leg, you cannot choose your own schedule.
Seasonality and availability
Seasonal fluctuations are minimal: business activity follows the business calendar, with a slowdown in July and August and during the festive season. The publication of a listing depends on the need for repositioning, not on the time of year.
Why are there empty legs between Paris and Amsterdam?
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 Amsterdam
On such a short route, keeping an aircraft on standby costs more than moving it. The operator can therefore open bookings for the flight it is due to operate between Paris and Amsterdam. This route can be in either direction, depending on the specific assignment.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Amsterdam take?
Around 55 min for 410 km. Estimated journey time: on this type of route, ground handling times are a key factor.
Schiphol or Rotterdam?
Schiphol is the most commonly used airport; Rotterdam-The Hague serves as an alternative depending on the flight slots and the aircraft. The airport is determined by the offer and is stated in the advert.
Is it possible to make a return journey in a single day using empty legs?
This is rarely possible: each empty leg is a separate leg, published at a fixed date and time. Two compatible offers on the same day are simply a coincidence.
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.
