Live empty leg flights to and from Farnborough, straight from the charter operators that fly them.
Checking live availability…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.
Farnborough is the one airport near London built for business aviation and nothing else. No airlines, no terminals to walk, about forty miles south west of central London in Hampshire. That focus is why it turns up on this board far more often than its size suggests, and why the empty leg flights here are almost all repositioning between London and somewhere else.
The corridors that repeat are domestic and short: Birmingham most often, then London itself and Luton, with Bordeaux and Brussels next. Eighteen different aircraft types have appeared here, which is a wider spread than anywhere else its size on the board.
Which London field you use decides your drive more than your flight does. Farnborough is quick for the south west and the M3 corridor, and slow for anywhere east of the city.
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 Farnborough run one to three hours; the domestic hops are under an hour. You can also browse the whole list by aircraft type.
Between 31 July and 27 August 2026 we recorded 43 empty leg flights touching Farnborough: 29 departing, 14 arriving, across 24 partner airports. The airports that came up most were Birmingham (5), London (4), London Luton (3), Bordeaux (2). 18 different aircraft types appeared, most often the Embraer Legacy 500 (12), the Challenger 650 (7), the Citation Excel (5).
Twenty-nine of the forty-three were leaving. Farnborough sends aircraft out far more than it takes them in, which is exactly what a base looks like.
These are counts from our own board over that window, 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.
