How Market Rate Is Estimated

EmptyJet compares each listing's all-in USD price to an estimated one-way charter market rate for the same route distance band and aircraft category. Market rates are derived from operator-published charter data, historical repositioning patterns, and aircraft operating-cost models — not from a single broker quote.

Worked example (illustrative):

  • Route: London Luton (LTN) → Nice (NCE), ~1,040 km
  • Aircraft: Citation XLS (light jet, 8 seats)
  • Estimated market one-way charter: $28,000
  • Listed empty leg price: $18,500
  • Discount vs market: ~34% → score band 7–8 (good deal)

Scores are informational. Final pricing, taxes, positioning fees, and availability are confirmed through the EmptyJet booking process. See our empty leg flights guide for how discounts typically range 30–75% below standard charter on comparable routes.
