Private jet routes / Mbombela to Johannesburg
Empty-leg private flights Mbombela to Johannesburg. 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 €2,800 to €4,350 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 50 min in the air, over 325 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 Beechcraft King Air B200. The aircraft is set by whichever operator is repositioning, so it changes from flight to flight; every listing names the type.
We have listed 7 on Mbombela to Johannesburg so far, and 3 are on the board right now. Empty legs appear at short notice, so a route alert is the reliable way to catch one.
