Empty leg Paris ↔ Rome
View the empty legs listed between Paris and Rome, in both directions, with Ciampino at the heart of Rome’s business aviation scene.
Rome’s business aviation operations are mainly based at Ciampino, to the south-east of the city. An ‘empty leg’ refers to a flight without passengers, which an operator may make available for booking. Each published offer specifies the date, the chosen airport in Rome, the aircraft, the number of seats and the price.

Distances and journey times are provided for guidance only. The airport, flight time and timetables depend on the published offer and operational conditions.
Roma Ciampino is the main hub for private flights; Fiumicino handles larger aircraft. In Paris, Le Bourget is the main hub for business aviation departures. The airport is determined by the available options and cannot be changed.
Traffic is mixed: institutions, diplomacy, fashion and cultural travel. Stays of several days are more common here than on purely business routes, which increases the number of one-way journeys.
Activity is spread throughout the year, with a peak from spring to autumn and further peaks linked to major religious and cultural events. These fluctuations mean that there is no regular pattern to the publication of empty legs.
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.
When an aeroplane drops off passengers in Rome for several days, it does not necessarily remain there. The journey it then makes without passengers can be made available for booking, on both the outward and return legs, depending on where its next assignment begins.
The flights offered on MarketJet are operated by certified air operators. MarketJet connects travellers with these operators and centralises their repositioning offers; MarketJet does not operate any aircraft.
Approximately 1 h 50 for 1120 km between Le Bourget and Ciampino. Estimated journey time.
Ciampino is the airport most frequently used by business aviation; Fiumicino accommodates larger aircraft. The airport is specified in the published flight plan and cannot be changed.
Each empty leg is a separate route. The Paris–Milan and Paris–Venice routes each have their own pages and their own offers.
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.
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.
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.
