One way empty legs between Washington and Cleveland, 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.
Washington Dulles is a mid sized node on our board, 123 departures to 52 destinations, and Cleveland is its joint third largest destination at seven listings, level with Bedford and behind Teterboro at 22 and Miami Opa Locka at eight. The sector is about 250 nautical miles and every listing puts it at 54 minutes to an hour in the air.
Cleveland across its three business aviation fields takes 102 arrivals from 62 origins, and Washington is its second largest source at seven, just behind Teterboro at eight. Those two are the only Cleveland arrival corridors with pages on this site, and between them they account for fifteen of the city's 102 recorded arrivals.
Seven movements and seven different aircraft types, with no type appearing twice. Four of the seven are Beechcraft Hawkers of four different marks, a 400XP, an 800XP, an 850XP and a 900XP. The other three are a Bombardier Learjet 40XR, a Bombardier Learjet 45XR and a fourteen seat Gulfstream G450. It is the only table on this site with six or more recorded legs and no aircraft type repeated.
One operator accounts for six of the seven, so on operator count alone this is a thin corridor. What stops it being one calendar is that Sky Quest's six legs are six different airframes on six different tail numbers and six different marks of aircraft. This is a fleet moving between two cities, not a route being run to a timetable.
Seven movements on five dates between 12 September and 6 October 2026, and three of the seven fall on the same day. 6 October carries a Beechcraft Hawker 800XP, an 850XP and a 900XP, three different marks on three different tails, and they are not all going to the same airport.
Notice is uniformly short. Nothing on this corridor has appeared more than fourteen days ahead in ten weeks of record. The Aircraft Management Group Hawker 400XP went on the board the day before it departed, the 6 October Hawker 850XP three days out and the 28 September Learjet 45XR twelve, which is close to the longest. If you want one of these you will not see it a month in advance, because nothing on this route ever has been.
Approximate corridor between Washington and Cleveland. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Cleveland has three business aviation fields and this corridor uses two of them. Six of the seven listings arrive at Hopkins and one at Cuyahoga County, and the two are about nineteen nautical miles apart on opposite sides of the city, so the drive at the far end depends on which field your listing names. They are 250 and 243 nautical miles from Dulles, close enough to round to the same figure on this page's diagram and not remotely the same place on the ground. The Cuyahoga County arrival is one of the three 6 October movements, so on that single day this corridor served both airports. The distance here is measured to Hopkins because that is where six of the seven land.

Every leg we have recorded between Washington and Cleveland, 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 seven carries a published price: USD 7,990 for the whole aircraft on a nine seat Beechcraft Hawker 850XP, tail N444CX, leaving Dulles on 6 October. It is a Sky Quest listing and it was the only leg still on the board when this page was built.
Six prices are missing and the two reasons are different. Aircraft Management Group has published a price on none of its 306 listings in our record, so its Hawker 400XP was never going to carry one. Sky Quest does publish, but only on 35 of its 174 listings, so five unpriced Sky Quest legs out of six is close to its own normal rate rather than anything about this corridor.
What this route offers instead of prices is a like for like comparison of aircraft. The same 250 nautical miles, the same hour in the air, and cabins from a seven seat Beechcraft Hawker 400XP to a fourteen seat Gulfstream G450. Three of the four Hawkers are nine seats and all three are listed at a flat hour, so if the difference between an 800XP, an 850XP and a 900XP matters to you, this is the page where all three appear on one sector.
Every one of the seven publishes a block time and six of the seven publish a tail number, the Aircraft Management Group leg being the exception. That is a well documented table by the standards of this site, and it is worth saying plainly that documentation and price are not the same thing: you can see exactly which airframe is flying and still have to ring up to find out what it costs.
Cleveland back to Washington exists in our record at seven listings, but every one of them is Sky Quest, so there is no page for it: one operator's calendar is not a corridor. Teterboro to Cleveland is the other way into the city and has its own page. Ask the operator which Cleveland field the aircraft is actually going to, whether the departure time can still move, and what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through.
Washington to Cleveland empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Washington to Cleveland and Cleveland to Washington, and send you nothing else.
