Empty Leg Flights with Jet-VIP
In recent years, the term “empty leg” has become synonymous with last-minute trips because of the growth of social media. But what exactly does an ’empty leg flight’ mean?
There are times when a plane is sent out on an empty leg, or “repositioning flight,” without any people on board. In the private jet charter industry, the term “empty leg” refers to the return or repositioning section of a flight’s itinerary.
Empty planes must move to a new location or return to their home base for the next client flight (just as a taxi would often need to do on the ground). As a result, the flight for repositioning has no passengers.
Crew training and aircraft maintenance are included in operator audits, which include a variety of procedures:
An aircraft’s paperwork is checked to verify that all necessary certifications and permissions are in order.
Personnel training records are checked to make certain that all members of the team are up to date and properly certified to work in commercial settings
Pilot logbook checks to ensure compliance with crew rest and rest restrictions
Monitoring and verifying that proper flight operations and cabin protocols are being followed during a flight
To ensure that aircraft are safe to fly, maintenance and engineering compliance tests are carried out on a regular basis.
Company operational manuals and documents are manually checked for accuracy.
When assessing airports for turnaround times and operator audits of airport handlers, ramp inspections are used.
In order to evaluate the operational skill of air traffic control personnel, operations checks are performed.
To guarantee that the internal auditing process is strong and compliant, quality checks are conducted.
