One way empty legs between Charleston and Knoxville, 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.
Charleston in South Carolina is a mid sized node on our board, 46 departures to 25 destinations, and Knoxville is its joint most frequent destination at five movements, level with Teterboro. The sector is about 265 nautical miles and the recorded legs run from an hour to two hours in the air, depending entirely on what is flying it.
Knoxville is a node of much the same size and shape: 59 arrivals from 35 origins and 45 departures to 29. Charleston is its joint largest source at five movements, level with Panama City. These are two secondary nodes with a genuine link between them rather than a hub pair.
Three operators and four aircraft types across five movements, and the spread of aircraft is unusually wide for 265 nautical miles. A five seat Beechcraft Baron G58, a piston twin, at one end. A seven seat Bombardier Learjet 60 at the other. In between a Beechcraft King Air F90-1 twice and a Beechcraft Hawker 400XP once.
Four of the five carry a published price, and that is the point of this page. Flight Choice publishes a price, a tail number and a block time on all 56 of its listings in our record, and it has three of the five legs here. On most corridors the money has to be asked for; on this one four figures can be set against each other.
Five movements on five dates across seven weeks, 19 September to 5 November 2026. Three of them fall in the ten days to 27 September, then nothing until 18 October and 5 November. Two of the five were still on the board when this page was built.
Notice runs from four days to 34. The Aircraft Management Group Hawker 400XP went on the board four days out and the Jetvia Learjet 60 five. The longest is the Baron G58 on 5 November, first seen 34 days ahead. Flight Choice gave eleven days on its September King Air leg and 26 on its October one, so even one operator flying one airframe is not consistent about it.
Approximate corridor between Charleston and Knoxville. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Charleston here is the large joint civil and military field and not Charleston Executive, and the two are on opposite sides of the city. The return direction in our record uses both: four of the five Knoxville to Charleston listings land at Charleston International and one at Charleston Executive. Ask which field you are leaving from before you plan the drive, because on a sector this short the ground legs are a real share of the journey.

Every leg we have recorded between Charleston and Knoxville, 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 carry a published price, from USD 1,930 to USD 6,000 for the whole aircraft. The span is the story here. These are not four different routes, they are four different aircraft over the same 265 nautical miles.
The clearest single thing on this corridor is a same aircraft price change. Flight Choice listed the identical Beechcraft King Air F90-1, tail N7206E, at USD 1,930 for 19 September and USD 4,000 for 18 October. Same operator, same airframe, same seven seats, same one hour 24 minute block. USD 4,000 is 107 per cent more than USD 1,930. We do not know why and we are not going to invent a reason: it is in the table because it is what was published.
The rest reads sensibly by aircraft. The Bombardier Learjet 60 from Jetvia is the quickest at an hour flat and the dearest at USD 6,000. The Beechcraft Baron G58 is the slowest at two hours and USD 2,900, which is more money than the King Air's September figure for a smaller cabin and 36 minutes longer in the air.
The one unpriced leg is Aircraft Management Group's Beechcraft Hawker 400XP on 27 September. That operator has priced none of its 290 listings in our record, so the absence is its house policy rather than a gap on this route. It is also the only one of the five with no tail number.
Knoxville back to Charleston exists in our record at five movements, but every one of them is Flight Choice, so there is no page for it: one operator's calendar is not a corridor. Ask the operator whether the figure covers the whole aircraft or a part charter, whether the departure time can still move, and what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through.
Charleston to Knoxville empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Charleston to Knoxville and Knoxville to Charleston, and send you nothing else.
