An ‘empty leg’ refers to a flight without passengers, which the operator may make available for booking. On the Paris–Munich route, flights may be available from either the main airport or the business hub at Oberpfaffenhofen. Each listing specifies the date, airport, aircraft, available seats and price.

Paris–Munich by private jet: airports, distance and journey time

Distances and journey times are provided for guidance only. The airport, flight time and timetables depend on the published offer and operational conditions.

Airports on the route

Munich Franz Josef Strauß Airport handles business aviation in the north-east of the city; Oberpfaffenhofen, to the west, is specifically dedicated to private flights. In Paris, Le Bourget handles the majority of flights. The airport is determined by the published schedule.

For what sort of journeys?

Most of the traffic is business-related: the automotive, aviation and insurance sectors, and trade fairs. Munich is also a common gateway to the Bavarian Alps and Tyrol, with the rest of the journey to be arranged.

Seasonality and availability

The Munich trade fair calendar and the ski season drive business from December to March. These periods increase passenger numbers without necessitating the scheduling of an empty leg on this specific route.

Why are there empty legs between Paris and Munich?

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 Munich

Industrial flights are rarely organised as symmetrical return journeys: a plane arriving in Munich may have its next assignment elsewhere. The approach leg, carried out without passengers, may be offered at the time of booking, with no preferred direction.

Your questions about this route

How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Munich take?

Approximately 1 h 15 for 690 km. This is an estimated duration and may vary depending on the aircraft.

Which airports are there near Munich?

The main airport is Franz Josef Strauß, and Oberpfaffenhofen is used for some business aviation flights. The choice is left to the operator and is specified on the flight details sheet.

Is Munich a good base from which to explore the Alps?

This is a common gateway to the Bavarian Alps and Tyrol. You will need to organise the rest of your journey yourself: MarketJet only sells the flight.

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.
