Silverhawk Aviation offers empty leg flights at transparent, flat-rate prices based on aircraft type and distance. No negotiation. No ambiguity. Just an exceptional private flying experience at a fraction of standard charter rates.
An empty leg flight, sometimes called a “deadhead flight” or “ferry flight,” occurs when a private jet needs to reposition after completing a one-way charter. Rather than flying empty, Silverhawk offers these flights to travelers at a significant discount.
Empty leg flights offer the same aircraft, the same crew, and the same private terminal experience as a standard charter. The only difference is the price.
Who benefits most from empty leg flights? Travelers with flexible schedules who want to experience private aviation at a reduced cost. If the departure date, time, and destination work for you, an empty leg flight is one of the best values in private aviation.
What makes Silverhawk different? We publish our prices. Most charter operators price empty legs on a case-by-case basis, leaving travelers to
negotiate or wonder if they’re getting a fair deal. At Silverhawk, our empty leg pricing is simple, flat, and fixed, determined by aircraft type and flight distance from the originating airport.
