PINEHURST, N.C., July 21, 2010 — EmptyLegMarket LLC, an online clearinghouse for empty-leg flights, has expanded its service outside of the United States. Now customers looking to find the best deals to charter a private jet can search for empty-leg flights throughout Canada, Europe, the Middle East, South America and the Caribbean.
Empty-legs are the unsold segments on a private jet and chartering one comes at a significant savings: up to 50% off normal charter prices. If there is a group of business travelers heading to a meeting, chartering an empty-leg flight can make private jet travel sometimes as price-competitive as premium commercial travel, not to mention more convenient.
Elliott Schwartz, the Director of Operations for EmptyLegMarket, says, "Empty-legs are not just an issue for US-based jet operators and so this new service allows jet operators and brokers who fly international routes an efficient way to fill their empty planes."
Customers can simply search to see what empty-leg flights are available for charter and then contact the jet operator directly to charter the flight. Empty-legs do not represent a scheduled service and can be quoted to or from any location. This site is open to all and there are no booking fees.
About EmptyLegMarket LLC
Founded in 2009, EmptyLegMarket has quickly been recognized as an innovator in the private aviation industry. EmptyLegMarket's goal is to create a transparent marketplace for this fragmented industry by consolidating on-demand empty-leg flights onto one site and making available an easy-to-use tool that allows customers to identify the best options and values for private jet charter, which in turn allows jet operators to more fully utilize their jets. EmptyLegMarket does not handle the sale of the empty-leg flight but rather provides the customer with the necessary information to reserve directly with the operator. Unlike other services, EmptyLegMarket focuses solely on the empty-leg private jet charter industry. For more information about the service, visit http://www.emptylegmarket.com or email Email.
