The Rhine, and the shortest hop in the Ruhr
Dusseldorf is the business aviation airport for the Rhine-Ruhr, the densest cluster of companies in Germany, so its empty legs turn over quickly.

We list what operators publish and take no commission. Your enquiry goes to them.
Availability is re-read from operator sources through the day, and each leg carries its timestamp.
The figure shown is the operator's own, for the whole aircraft. Where none is published we say so.
No account needed to browse, no card, and no charge at any point.
Düsseldorf is the business centre of the Rhine-Ruhr, the most densely populated part of Germany, and it produces steady corporate charter all year rather than a seasonal spike. The empty leg flights here follow that traffic.
The board shows twenty-two of twenty-nine legs leaving, and the destinations are southern: Olbia five times, then Luxembourg, Nice and Ibiza. In August, the Rhine-Ruhr flies to the Mediterranean and the empty legs are the aircraft coming home.
Mönchengladbach handles a large share of the business aviation in this region even though Düsseldorf has the name. Search both if the drive is not the problem.
For what a seat works out at across the whole board, by aircraft type and in the operator's own currency, see how much an empty leg private jet costs.
Where an operator publishes a price it is shown exactly as listed, as a whole-aircraft figure rather than a per-seat fare. Where none is published the card says so rather than estimating.
European sectors from Düsseldorf are one to two and a half hours. You can also browse the whole list by aircraft type.
Reading the record.
These are counts from our own board, read when you opened this page, so they reflect the operators we read rather than the whole market, and they are a record of what was listed, not a forecast. New legs appear with days of notice, which is what the route alert is for.
An empty leg exists because of the paid charter around it, so it can be sold or moved without notice. Every listing here is recorded from what the operator published, with the date we last saw it. Treat it as a strong indication rather than a guarantee, and confirm with the operator before planning around it.
Empty Leg List is a listing service. We are not a broker, not an operator, and not party to any booking, and we take no commission. Your enquiry goes to the operator covering the route, who confirms availability and final price with you directly. If nothing matches, set a route alert and we email you when a leg on that corridor is listed.

Working out which aircraft show up…
Live legs leaving from, or landing at, other airports within 150 km of DUS. A leg from an airport an hour's drive away can be the one that fits; the distance shown is from DUS to the airport the leg uses, in a straight line.
Every leg we have recorded with one end at Dusseldorf 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.

Legs out left Dusseldorf, legs in landed at Dusseldorf. Airports are named as the operator published them, so a row is whatever the operator wrote. The few legs where both ends resolve to Dusseldorf are counted above but have no other end to list.
