One way empty legs between Tampa and Miami, 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.
This is a short hop across Florida, about 175 nautical miles, and it is the busiest single destination we have recorded out of Tampa. Tampa produced 69 departures to 38 different destinations in our record, and Miami takes fifteen of them, more than twice any other.
Four operators appear on the fifteen movements, which is what separates this corridor from the single company calendars we normally leave alone. Thrive Aviation listed nine, Sky Quest and Call a Jet two each and Jetvia one. They do not list alike: Sky Quest and Jetvia give a tail number, an airport code, a seat count and a block time on every row here, while Thrive gives a city, a date and an aircraft type and nothing else.
The aircraft are eight types and they are nowhere near each other in size. A King Air B200 twice at the small end, a Cessna Citation Sovereign+ four times in the middle, and at the top a Gulfstream G450 twice, a Gulfstream G600 and a Dassault Falcon 900EX EASy. Eight seats to fourteen on a 42 minute flight.
Four of the fifteen carry an airport code and all four name the same pair, Tampa International and Miami Opa Locka Executive. That is the pair the computed distance on this page uses. The other eleven say only Tampa and Miami, and both cities have more than one field, so which one your listing means is the operator's to confirm.
In ones and twos across two months, with one cluster. Eleven separate departure dates between 1 August and 23 November 2026, and the busiest stretch was 29 September to 9 October with five listings.
Notice is mixed and the extremes are wide. The two Call a Jet King Air B200 legs on 1 and 2 August were on the board the day before and the day of departure. The Thrive Gulfstream G450 for 23 November has been listed since 9 September, eleven weeks out. Most sat between three days and three weeks, which is short enough that the route alert is worth more than checking the page.
Approximate corridor between Tampa and Miami. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Both ends of this route have more than one airport and only four of the fifteen listings say which. Those four all use Tampa International and Opa Locka Executive, so that is the pair measured here. On a 42 minute flight the drive at the far end is the longer half of the journey, and Opa Locka sits north of downtown Miami while Miami Executive is well to the south west, so the field is worth asking about before you agree a time.

Every leg we have recorded between Tampa and Miami, 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 fifteen legs carries a published price: USD 4,200 for the whole aircraft on a seven seat Bombardier Learjet 60, tail N600SJ, leaving Tampa International on 29 September with a 42 minute block time. That is Jetvia, which publishes a figure on almost everything it lists.
The other fourteen say price on request, and that is the operators rather than our collection. Thrive Aviation, which has nine of them, publishes no price on this corridor at all. So we show nothing rather than guess.
The one price we do have is not a corridor rate. USD 4,200 buys the smallest jet on the route. The Gulfstream G450, the Gulfstream G600 and the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASy on the same corridor are heavy aircraft with twice the cabin, and on a 175 nautical mile sector they would not be priced anywhere near it.
Four of the fifteen dates carry two listings each, and on 14 September the two are plainly different aircraft, a Hawker 800XP and a Hawker 850XP on separate tails from Sky Quest. On the other three the pairs are the same operator and the same type with no tail number given, so whether that is two aeroplanes or one listing counted twice is a question for the operator.
Miami back to Tampa has its own page and a different operator entirely. Ask the operator which Tampa and which Miami field the aircraft is using, whether the departure time can still move, and what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through.
Tampa to Miami empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Tampa to Miami and Miami to Tampa, and send you nothing else.
