Airports on the route
Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport accommodates business aviation on the city’s immediate outskirts; Cascais, to the west, also handles private flights. In Paris, Le Bourget remains the usual hub. The exact airport depends on the published offer.
For what sort of journeys?
The corridor combines business travel — in the technology, property and financial services sectors — with personal journeys linked to residents moving into the area. One-way journeys are common here, which drives the need for repositioning.
Seasonality and availability
Business is spread throughout the year, with a peak from April to October and occasional spikes during major autumn technology events. These fluctuations relate to general traffic, not the publication of empty legs.
Why are there empty legs between Paris and Lisbon?
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 of an empty leg are already set by the airline. Passengers therefore book an existing flight, with less flexibility. The price is consequently lower than that of a bespoke charter. MarketJet brings together the offers published by its partner airlines so that they can all be viewed in one place.
On the route from Paris to Lisbon
An aircraft that has operated a flight in Portugal does not always return with passengers. On a route of this length, the airline has a direct interest in opening the route for bookings rather than flying it empty. The direction and date depend on its next flight.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Lisbon take?
Approximately 2 hours 15 for 1460 km. This is an indicative estimate depending on the aircraft and the route.
Lisbon or Cascais?
Both airports handle private flights. The choice is left to the operator, depending on the aircraft and the slots; this is indicated on each flight’s details sheet.
Are there any empty-leg flights between Lisbon and Paris?
Yes, this aspect is covered on this very page. Each direction depends on its own repositioning and does not evolve at the same pace as the other.
Can you book a return empty leg?
Each route is advertised separately. An ‘empty leg’ is a one-way flight: the fact that there is a flight available in one direction does not necessarily mean there is one in the other, nor on a date that suits you.
Does the price cover the whole aeroplane or just one seat?
On an empty leg, the price shown is for the flight itself, subject to the number of seats indicated in the offer; passenger taxes are added to this depending on the number of passengers. Shared flights, on the other hand, are booked on a seat-by-seat basis.
Why are there no flights available at the moment?
This is because no airline has published any repositioning flights on this route at the moment. Offers appear according to the airlines’ needs and are withdrawn as soon as they are booked: the alert remains the most reliable way to be notified.
