Empty leg flights in Canada

Canada has 63 upcoming empty legs on our board, 41 leaving and 39 arriving, 17 of them between two Canadian airports. 35 of the 63 carry a published price, all in Canadian dollars, from Chartright Air Group, which lists every leg with a figure.

Toronto is on 40 of the 63. Calgary follows at 10, Montréal at 7, Regina at 6 and Vancouver at 4. The most repeated corridor crosses the border: Toronto to Teterboro eight times and back four, then Vancouver to Calgary and Toronto to Montréal at three each.

The fleet is Bombardier, as you would expect at home: Challenger 300 on 22 legs, Challenger 650 on 7, Challenger 604 on 5. Across the 35 priced legs the median aircraft is 10,800 Canadian dollars and the median seat 1,156. We have recorded 321 legs touching Canada since the end of July.

Two thirds of Canadian empty legs touch Toronto, and the single busiest corridor in the country leaves it.

What an empty leg costs in Canada

Median of the operator's published price, and that price divided by the seats the operator listed, on upcoming legs touching Canada that carry both. Only currencies with at least three such legs.

Per seat is a division, not a fare: the operator sells the aircraft. How that works across the whole board is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.

How empty legs work in Canada

An empty leg is a flight a charter operator has to make anyway, to position an aircraft for a booking or to bring it home afterwards, sold at a discount because the alternative is flying it empty. The operator sets the route, the date and the aircraft. You fit into a flight that already exists, and it is one way: there is no return leg and no such thing as a return seat.

Everything on this page comes from Canadian legs that operators published on their own websites. We read those sites several times a day and record each leg exactly as listed, route, date, aircraft, seats and the operator's own price where they gave one. We do not read brokers, we take no commission and enquiries go straight to the operator. A leg counts for Canada when either end resolves to a Canadian airport, first by the airport code the operator gave and then by the city name, so a leg written as an airport name still lands in the right country.

The written figures above are a snapshot from September 2026 and are restated, not quietly edited, when we rerun them. The live list is the board as it stands now.
