Empty legs from São Paulo
Aircraft finish one-way trips in São Paulo every day and leave again to meet their next client — each of those flights is a potential empty leg. Private jets fly from Congonhas Airport (CGH), Campo de Marte Airport (RTE), Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU). On our estimates, an empty leg out of São Paulo usually sells for about $2,800–$4,100 on the cheapest route (São Paulo → Rio de Janeiro), against $5,500 for the same flight booked as a full one-way charter.
Typical empty-leg prices from São Paulo
Full one-way prices are Yond engine estimates for the cheapest aircraft class that can fly the route. Empty legs usually sell 25–50% below that; a real leg exists only when an aircraft happens to reposition on the route.
