Private jet routes / London to Edinburgh
Empty-leg private flights London to Edinburgh. 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 €11,450 to €11,550 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 3m in the air, over 494 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 Bombardier Challenger 650. The aircraft is set by whichever operator is repositioning, so it changes from flight to flight; every listing names the type.
We have listed 4 on London to Edinburgh so far, and none are on the board right now. Empty legs appear at short notice, so a route alert is the reliable way to catch one.
