One way empty legs between Edinburgh and London, exactly as the operators list them. The operator confirms availability and the price with you directly.
Straight line distance between the two cities. Actual routing and flight time depend on the aircraft and the airports.
Edinburgh's record on our board is dominated by this one pair. Edinburgh produces ten recorded departures to five different destinations and five of them come to London Luton, exactly half, with Wevelgem next on two. Inbound is the same shape: eleven arrivals from six origins, five of them from Luton. Ten of the twenty one movements we have recorded at Edinburgh are this corridor in one direction or the other.
At the London end it is one line among sixty. London Luton takes 128 recorded arrivals from 60 different origins, led by Larnaca on nine, Farnborough on eight and Stansted on six, with Edinburgh level on five alongside Paris Le Bourget and Athens. This corridor matters a great deal more to Edinburgh than it does to Luton.
Two operators and four aircraft types across five legs, with a wide spread of cabin sizes for a sector of 265 nautical miles. Luxaviation listed four of them, on a Cessna Citation XLS with seven seats, a Bombardier Global 6000 with fifteen, and an Embraer Legacy 600 with thirteen on two separate dates. Air Charter Scotland listed the fifth, a Cessna Citation Latitude with nine seats. Four of the five name the airframe, and they are three different registrations: G-SHUI, G-FOMO and G-KGKG twice.
Every one of the five names both ends by ICAO code, EGPH and EGGW, so nothing on this page rests on a city name. That is worth saying because Edinburgh reaches our record under two spellings, Edinburgh and Edinburgh International, and every row anywhere in our data that carries a code for either spelling carries EGPH. The reverse direction is published and holds five legs of its own.
Four of the five have flown, on 5, 22, 23 and 28 August 2026, and one is live, departing 3 October. August produced four legs in twenty four days and then the corridor went quiet for five weeks.
Notice varies more here than on most routes we track. Measured from the day each listing entered our record to its departure, the five gave 1, 4, 17, 17 and 22 days. Two of them appeared within four days of the flight, so on this corridor the alert is worth more than checking the page.
Approximate corridor between Edinburgh and London. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
All five listings name both ends by ICAO code, EGPH and EGGW, so there is no naming ambiguity on this corridor. Luton sits north of London on the M1, and on a sector the operators list at between 47 minutes and 1 hour 10 minutes in the air, the drive at the London end is a real part of the journey. One caution about the table further down, which reads our record live rather than from a snapshot baked into this page: that record holds the 22 August Air Charter Scotland leg twice, collected once with the country suffix on the airport names and once without, so the table shows it on two identical lines and the count above the table reads six. There are five legs on this corridor, and every figure on this page is on the five.

Every leg we have recorded between Edinburgh 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.
One of the five carries a published price: GBP 9,000 for the whole aircraft on the Embraer Legacy 600 departing 3 October. That is the operator's figure for the aircraft, not a per seat fare, and it is the only price we hold on this corridor in either direction.
The other four are blank for two different reasons. Air Charter Scotland publishes no price on any of its 291 listings anywhere in our record, so its row was never going to carry one. Luxaviation publishes a price on 391 of its 856, so its three blanks are those particular listings rather than a policy.
Seats are published on all five, from seven on the Cessna Citation XLS to fifteen on the Bombardier Global 6000, and four of the five publish a block time: 47 minutes, 55 minutes on both Legacy 600 legs, and 1 hour 10 minutes. The northbound direction is listed by Air Charter Scotland at 1 hour 15 minutes on the same airframe, G-SHUI, that it lists at 1 hour 10 minutes coming south. Luxaviation lists its Embraer Legacy 600 at 55 minutes both ways.
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 London field you are landing at, because every listing we have recorded on this corridor names EGGW, which is Luton.
Edinburgh to London empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Edinburgh to London and London to Edinburgh, and send you nothing else.
