Empty leg flights in Germany

Germany has 24 upcoming empty legs on our board, 15 leaving and 10 arriving, and only one flying between two German airports. 8 of the 24 carry a published price, all in euros.

It is not a Frankfurt or Munich board. Münster is listed on 7 legs, Leipzig and Berlin on 3 each, Siegen, Cologne and Mengen on 2, and Munich and Frankfurt on one apiece. The other ends are Amsterdam, Paris, Wevelgem and Abuja, with London, Ostend, Klagenfurt and Santorini once each.

Across the 8 legs priced in euros the median aircraft is 4,000 and the median seat 780, among the cheapest seats on these pages, because the type that dominates is the Beechcraft King Air 200, a turboprop, on 7 legs. Behind it a Gulfstream G200 and a Phenom 300E on 2 each. Since the record began on 30 July 2026 the site has recorded 299 empty legs touching Germany.

Seven of the 24 German legs are a King Air out of Münster. The country's two biggest airports, Frankfurt and Munich, appear once each.

What an empty leg costs in Germany

Median of the operator's published price, and that price divided by the seats the operator listed, on upcoming legs touching Germany that carry both. Only currencies with at least three such legs.

Per seat is a division, not a fare: the operator sells the aircraft. How that works across the whole board is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.

How empty legs work in Germany

An empty leg is a flight a charter operator has to make anyway, to position an aircraft for a booking or to bring it home afterwards, sold at a discount because the alternative is flying it empty. The operator sets the route, the date and the aircraft. You fit into a flight that already exists, and it is one way: there is no return leg and no such thing as a return seat.

Everything on this page comes from German legs that operators published on their own websites. We read those sites several times a day and record each leg exactly as listed, route, date, aircraft, seats and the operator's own price where they gave one. We do not read brokers, we take no commission and enquiries go straight to the operator. A leg counts for Germany when either end resolves to a German airport, first by the airport code the operator gave and then by the city name, so a leg written as an airport name still lands in the right country.

The written figures above are a snapshot from September 2026 and are restated, not quietly edited, when we rerun them. The live list is the board as it stands now.

Questions people ask about empty legs in Germany

Which German airports have the most empty legs?

On our board Münster appears on 7 upcoming legs, Leipzig and Berlin on 3 each, Siegen, Cologne and Mengen on 2. Frankfurt and Munich appear once each; the German empty leg board is a regional one.

How much does an empty leg cost in Germany?

Across the 8 upcoming legs priced in euros, the median published price is 4,000 euros for the whole aircraft, which divided by the seats the operator listed is 780 euros a seat. The type behind that figure is mostly the King Air 200, a turboprop; a jet costs more.

Are there domestic empty legs within Germany?

Rarely. One of the 24 upcoming legs flies between two German airports. The rest cross a border: the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria and the UK most often.

Germany in the record

Every leg we have recorded with one end in Germany 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.

Legs by departure month

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.
