One way empty legs between Belfast and London, exactly as the operators list them. Prices are the operator's own, not a marked up quote.
Straight line distance between the two cities. Actual routing and flight time depend on the aircraft and the airports.
Every one of the five legs we have on record on this corridor came from one operator, Jet Assist, on one aircraft type, a Learjet 45XR with eight seats. This is not several operators competing for the same traffic. It is one type of aircraft going back and forth.
The same operator and the same type turn up all over our board leaving Belfast: to Edinburgh twice, to Antwerp, to Hawarden and to Preveza, and arriving into Belfast from Manchester, Inverness, Preveza and Biggin Hill. Belfast is the point that recurs on every one of those legs, and London is the leg it repeats most.
The reverse direction, London to Belfast, is the same aircraft type at the same published figures. On three occasions the two directions sat on the board a day or two apart: 30 and 31 August, 9 and 11 September, and 8 and 9 October.
A few days notice at the short end, six weeks at the long. The five legs went on the board between five and forty four days before departure, and four of the five were listed on the same day, 25 August. One operator publishing four dates at once is not the same thing as four separate releases, so the alert below is worth more than watching the page.
Approximate corridor between Belfast and London. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Biggin Hill is quick for south east London and Kent and slow for anywhere north or west of the city. The map on this page is drawn to Belfast International, because the listings do not say which of the two Belfast fields they mean.

Every leg we have recorded between Belfast and London, in either direction, since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.
One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

Each row is a pair of airports as the operator named them, in the direction flown. Both directions of the corridor are counted. An operator that names only the city leaves us the city, which is why some rows are city names.
The price on a card is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft. What that comes to per seat, across every type we see, is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.
Four of the five legs carry a published price. Three say GBP 2,950 and one says GBP 2,995, both for the whole aircraft rather than per seat. The fifth says price on request. One operator publishing nearly the same figure four times is that operator's asking price on those dates, not a market rate for the route.
No operator here published a flight time, so the block figure on this page is worked from the great circle distance rather than taken from a listing. Ask the operator three things: whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through, and which Belfast airport you are leaving from.
Belfast to London empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Belfast to London and London to Belfast, and send you nothing else.
