An empty leg is a flight that an aeroplane must make without passengers in order to reposition itself. When an airline publishes one between Paris and Milan, the offer specifies the date, the airport in Milan, the aircraft, the seats available and the price. This is an existing flight: neither the route nor the timetable are negotiable.

Airports on the route

For what sort of journeys?
The Paris–Milan route connects two economic capitals: fashion, design, industry and finance. The route serves both business travel and leisure trips. Milan’s major trade fairs attract significant passenger numbers at certain times of the year.
Seasonality and availability
Spring fashion weeks and trade fairs account for a significant proportion of business aviation traffic to Milan; August is considerably quieter. A busy period increases the number of flights, though this does not guarantee that an empty leg flight will be advertised.
Why are there empty legs between Paris and Milan?
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.

A chartered flight to Milan must then travel to the starting point of its next mission, which is not necessarily Milan. This passenger-free leg of the journey may be offered at the time of booking, in either direction. The route has no fixed schedule: each offer corresponds to a one-off requirement.

Your questions about this route
Linate or Malpensa for a private flight to Milan?
Linate is closer to the city centre and is widely used by business aviation; Malpensa handles more long-haul flights. The airport is determined by the published flight schedule and cannot be changed.
How long does the Paris–Milan flight take by private jet?
Approximately 1 hours 10 for 650 km between Le Bourget and Linate. This is an indicative estimate, which may vary depending on the aircraft and the route.
Are there any empty legs during Fashion Week?
Busy periods lead to an increase in the number of bookings, but also in demand. We never advertise availability in advance: only the offers displayed above are actually available.
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.
