Venice is more of a holiday destination than a place for business meetings. An ‘empty leg’ refers to a repositioning flight without passengers, which is open for booking by the airline operating the flight. The published offer specifies the date, airport, aircraft, number of seats and price.

Paris–Venice 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

Venice Marco Polo, on the mainland to the north of the lagoon, caters for business aviation; Treviso serves as an alternative depending on slot availability and the aircraft type. In Paris, Le Bourget remains the go-to airport. The airport is included in every quote.

For what sort of journeys?

The aircraft is mainly used for private and cultural purposes, supplemented by the city’s major professional events: biennials, conferences and events in the lagoon. An empty leg dictates its own schedule, which is particularly suited to trips planned with flexibility.

Seasonality and availability

The Venetian calendar sets the pace for activity: the carnival in winter, biennales and festivals from spring to autumn, and high visitor numbers in summer. A busy period increases traffic without guaranteeing that an offer will be published.

Why are there empty legs between Paris and Venice?

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 Venice

A stopover lasting several days does not mean the aeroplane remains stationary: it departs after dropping off passengers, then returns to pick them up. Each of these two journeys can be made with no passengers on board and be open for booking, in either direction.

Your questions about this route

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

Around 1 hours 25 for 840 km. This is an approximate estimate, excluding the journey to the historic centre.

Marco Polo or Treviso?

Marco Polo is the closest to the lagoon; Treviso is used depending on the slot and the aircraft. The airport is listed on the flight details and cannot be changed.

Are there more thefts during the carnival or the Biennale?

These periods see a concentration of traffic, and therefore of movements — but also of demand. We never announce availability in advance: only the offers displayed are 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.
