Empty-leg private flights Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) to Cape Town. When an operator repositions this route, the whole aircraft goes for a fraction of a booked charter.
Empty legs we have carried on this route went for €3,700 to €62,850 for the whole aircraft. A scheduled charter over the same distance usually costs several times that, because you are paying for the aircraft to fly out and back.
About 1h 15m in the air, over 647 km. Private terminals add far less time on the ground than an airline departure, so door to door is usually shorter again.
Most often a Pilatus PC-12 NGX. The aircraft is set by whichever operator is repositioning, so it changes from flight to flight; every listing names the type.
