How to read the Empty Leg Index
A short guide to the numbers on each monthly page — what they mean, when a month is published, and what the figures do not promise.
What these pages show
Each month groups empty-leg offers on EmptyJet by when the flight is scheduled to leave. You can see how many offers are listed, which regions and city pairs show up most often, typical listed prices, and — when a comparison exists — how those prices sit relative to a full private charter.
When we publish a month
A monthly brief is published when EmptyJet has at least 30 priced empty-leg offers departing that month, a median listed price, and at least one citeable finding (savings versus full charter, a regional cluster, or a busy corridor). That floor exists so the median and takeaways are statistically meaningful — not to hide inventory.
Prices and savings
Listed prices are what appears on EmptyJet for that offer. “Below full charter” means the empty-leg price compared with EmptyJet’s estimate of a one-way charter on a similar trip. If that estimate is missing, the offer still counts in the totals, but not in the savings chart.
Regions and busy routes
Regions group offers by departure continent when known, otherwise by country. Corridors are sorted by how many empty-leg offers list that city pair for the month. More offers usually means more choice on the platform — not that every seat is held or already booked.
What to keep in mind
This is a view of listed inventory on EmptyJet for each departure month. Offers can appear, change, or disappear. Always confirm current price and availability when you search or enquire.
