One way empty legs between Fort Worth and Abilene, 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.
Fort Worth to Abilene is about 120 nautical miles, and the two legs that publish a block time say 36 minutes. It is a short sector by the standards of this board, and on a sector this short the economics are different: the aircraft is barely in the air, so what the operator is really repositioning is the crew and the airframe.
Abilene is a small field with one real origin. Twelve legs into Abilene are recorded in total and Fort Worth supplies more of them than anywhere else. Everything else is occasional: two each from Denver and Dallas, and single legs from Olathe, College Station and Lee's Summit.
From the Fort Worth end it is a mid table destination in a crowded field. Houston leads with fourteen recorded legs and Austin follows with eight. Six destinations in all reach five or more recorded legs from Fort Worth, and Abilene is one of them, alongside Denver, College Station and Aspen.
Two operators, two aircraft, two completely different listing styles. Jet OUT has four of the six legs, every one of them an eight seat Cessna Citation CJ4 with no price, no block time and no registration. Jetvia has the other two, both seven seat Bombardier Learjet 60XRs on the same day with a price, a block time and a tail number each. You are looking at two sets of listing conventions rather than two kinds of flight.
Six legs on five dates between 28 August and 29 October 2026, with two of them on 17 October on different aircraft. Roughly one leg every ten days, trickling rather than clustering, and across the four Jet OUT legs no two fell in the same week.
One was still on the board when this page was built, the Jet OUT CJ4 on 29 October. On a corridor producing a leg every ten days or so the route alert is worth more than checking the page.
Approximate corridor between Fort Worth and Abilene. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Meacham is the only Fort Worth field in our record for this corridor and Abilene Regional the only arrival, so there is no airport choice to make at either end on the legs we have seen. On a 36 minute flight the drive to Meacham and the drive from Abilene Regional together take longer than the sector.
Between 31 July and 11 October 2026 we recorded 6 empty legs from Fort Worth to Abilene. Two of them carried a published price, both USD 4,200 for the whole aircraft, and both are the same operator on the same day. That figure appears on 145 of Jetvia's listings across 75 different airport pairs, so read it as its standing number for a Learjet 60XR rather than a price for this sector. The two Jetvia legs publish a block time of 36 minutes, seven seats and a tail number each, N448GL and N600SJ. The four Jet OUT legs publish eight seats and nothing else.

Two of the six legs carry a published price, USD 4,200 for the whole aircraft. Both are the Jetvia Learjet 60XRs on 17 October. The other four say on request.
Treat that USD 4,200 as the operator's standing figure rather than a Fort Worth to Abilene fare. Jetvia has 2,558 recorded listings with us across 1,555 airport pairs, and prices 2,432 of them using only 60 distinct figures. USD 4,200 is one of those figures and it appears on 145 listings across 75 different airport pairs, many of them nothing like this one. It is what Jetvia charges for a Learjet 60XR, not what this sector costs.
Jet OUT, which has four of the six legs, publishes no price on anything. It has 1,629 recorded listings across 1,032 airport pairs and a figure on none of them, all of them the same aircraft type, a Citation CJ4. So four rows below say on request because that is what was published.
Ask whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created the empty leg falls through, and on the Jet OUT legs what the aircraft actually is, since those listings carry no registration.
