View the empty legs listed between Paris and Berlin, in both directions, to the German capital.
An empty leg is a journey that an aeroplane must make without passengers in order to reposition itself.

The route is fixed: it cannot be changed or diverted.

Airports on the route
Berlin Brandenburg has been the German capital’s only airport since the closure of Tegel and Tempelhof; it accommodates business aviation in a dedicated area. In Paris, Le Bourget remains the usual hub. The airport is specified on each quote.
For what sort of journeys?
The route combines business travel, meetings within the technology sector and cultural trips. The timetable is less strictly tied to office hours than on other German routes, which broadens the range of travellers it caters for.
Seasonality and availability
Seasonal variation is low, with occasional peaks around major events in Berlin at the start of the year and during the festival season. A peak in traffic does not automatically result in a listed offer.
Why are there empty legs between Paris and Berlin?
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 Berlin
The distance makes the repositioning flight costly, which gives the operator an incentive to sell it rather than fly it empty. It is this mechanism, rather than a flight schedule, that results in flights being offered between Paris and Berlin, in both directions.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Berlin take?
Approximately 1 h 30 for 870 km. This is an indicative estimate depending on the aircraft and the route.
Which airport serves Berlin for private jet flights?
Berlin Brandenburg, the city’s only airport, which has facilities for business aviation. This is stated on each flight details sheet.
Berlin or Munich for a trip to Germany?
Berlin serves the north-east and the political centres, whilst Munich serves the industrial south. The two routes are operated separately, with independent services.
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.
