PINEHURST, N.C., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- EmptyLegMarket LLC, an online clearinghouse for empty-leg flights, released the new version of its website, http://www.emptylegmarket.com. The new version significantly improves the functionality and simplicity of the service to allow charter customers to locate empty-leg flights that match their itineraries easier. Some of the new features in the update include the ability for charter customers to search for empty-leg flights in all nearby locations by just entering one airport code and an expanded network base to search for empty-leg flights not only throughout the U.S., but also Canada.
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. Every time a jet gets repositioned to pick up a paying customer or returns to its home base after a one-way flight it usually flies empty. If there are 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, "With corporations under pressure not to purchase private jets, but with legitimate business needs in many cases for executives to travel privately and directly, this site fits a real need in the current business environment for both corporate execs and individuals looking for the benefits of flying private but at reduced prices."
EmptyLegMarket's sole focus is to consolidate the empty-leg listings across the industry onto one platform and to provide an easy-to-use search tool to allow potential charter customers the ability to identify the best options and values for private jet travel. 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-leg flights are sold by the whole jet, not by the seat. This site is open to all and there are no booking fees.
