Empty legs from Zurich
Aircraft finish one-way trips in Zurich every day and leave again to meet their next client — each of those flights is a potential empty leg. Private jets fly from Zürich Airport (ZRH). On our estimates, an empty leg out of Zurich usually sells for about $3,700–$5,600 on the cheapest route (Zurich → Salzburg), against $7,400 for the same flight booked as a full one-way charter.
Typical empty-leg prices from Zurich
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.
