Empty-leg pricing patterns, 2026

This note compiles published prices and rules. It is not a survey of invoices. Each row names its source.

How to read it

A company page is the contract. A trade report is a report. A directory note is our comparison.

Where two sources disagree, the company review says so. Elevate Jet's callout hours are the example.

What belongs in the table

• Charter bands: Phenom 300 card hours reported at $8,600, and Azurite's unpublished hourly table.
• Empty seats: Jettly locks a trip once a seat sells. Flyjets holds the money until departure.
• FBO fees: Signature prices by airport. Event weeks are higher. There is no national cabin fare.
• Fractional hours: a NetJets 1/16 share is about 50 occupied hours a year, before the hourly bill.
• Event weekends: book the return with the outbound. The facility fee is a second invoice.
