The biggest board by a distance, and the one with the fewest prices
Board figures from September 2026. The list further down is live.
The United States is the largest board we keep and it behaves differently from everywhere else. Our board holds 677 upcoming empty legs touching the country, 571 of them flying between two American airports, and only 24 of the 677 carry a published price. The operators we read here, Jet OUT, Thrive Aviation, WestAir Charter, Schubach Aviation and Global Air Charters among them, almost all say price on enquiry, so this page can tell you where the aircraft are and when, but rarely what they cost.
Teterboro is the busiest field, on 109 legs, then Las Vegas at 96, Boise at 79 and Miami at 74. Boise is a single operator's turboprop network running out to Oregon and California, which is why Salem to Boise, at 9 legs, is the most repeated corridor in the country. The other repeat is cross-border: Toronto to Teterboro, 8 legs, from a Canadian operator.
The fleet is small-cabin. The Citation CJ4 appears on 160 legs, the Longitude on 60, and the two Pilatus PC-12 variants on 91 between them. The 24 priced legs are nearly all in Canadian dollars, because they belong to that cross-border operator: 22 of them, a median of 12,500 dollars for the aircraft, 1,498 a seat. We have recorded 1,894 legs touching the country since we started reading operators at the end of July.
Upcoming legs touching each American airport. The linked ones have their own page with the live list and everything we have recorded there.
The most repeated city pairs touching the US, with the number of upcoming legs on each. Direction matters: an empty leg is one way and there is no return.
| Aircraft, as the operator names it | Legs |
|---|---|
| Citation CJ4 | 160 |
| Cessna Citation Longitude | 60 |
| Pilatus PC-12 NG | 50 |
| Pilatus PC-12 NGX | 41 |
| Bombardier Challenger 300 | 37 |
| Beechcraft Hawker 900XP | 27 |
Operators write the type their own way, so the same aircraft can appear under two names. We show what they wrote.
Median of the operator's published price, and that price divided by the seats the operator listed, on upcoming legs touching the US that carry both. Only currencies with at least three such legs.
| Currency | Legs | Aircraft | Per seat |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAD | 22 | 12,500 | 1,498 |
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.
Read from our listings when you open the page, soonest first. Price is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft, or price on enquiry if they did not publish one.

A listing can be sold or withdrawn between our last check and your enquiry. Set an alert on a route and you hear first.
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 American 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 the United States when either end resolves to a American 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.
Teterboro, the business airport for New York, appears on more upcoming empty legs than any other American field, 109 on our board, followed by Las Vegas at 96, Boise at 79 and Miami at 74.
Rarely. Only 24 of the 677 upcoming empty legs touching the United States on our board carry a published price. The American operators we read almost all say price on enquiry, so you ask and they quote.
Mostly light jets and turboprops. The Citation CJ4 is on 160 upcoming legs, the Citation Longitude on 60, and the Pilatus PC-12 NG and NGX on 91 between them.
