Private jet routes / London to Abu Dhabi
Empty-leg private flights London to Abu Dhabi. 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 €43,150 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 7h 29m in the air, over 5.5k 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 Embraer Praetor 600. The aircraft is set by whichever operator is repositioning, so it changes from flight to flight; every listing names the type.
We have listed 2 on London to Abu Dhabi so far, and 2 are on the board right now. Empty legs appear at short notice, so a route alert is the reliable way to catch one.
