What is a Ferry Flight?

Relocating Aircraft Without Passengers

A Ferry Flight involves flying an aircraft from one location to another without any passengers or cargo, typically for positioning or maintenance purposes.

A Ferry Flight (Also known as an Empty Leg) is a flight intended to return an aircraft to its base, deliver it to a different location, or move it to and from a maintenance facility.

• Aircraft Relocation and Delivery: Commonly used to return aircraft to a base, deliver to a new location, or move to maintenance facilities.
• Operational Flexibility for Airlines: Provides airlines with flexibility in managing their fleet and meeting operational requirements.
• Cost and Planning Considerations: This involves specific planning and cost considerations, as these flights do not generate revenue from passengers or cargo.

Ferry flights are essential for the logistical movement of aircraft within the aviation industry, aiding in efficient fleet management.
