What is the app for empty leg private jet?

The Catch-a-Jet app allows existing and new customers to book and pay for Empty Leg flights in only three easy clicks and under a minute. This ease of booking and payment is revolutionarily in the business aircraft industry. Empty leg flights are flights apart from the crew; no passengers are on board.



If you are looking to book an "empty leg" flight—a private jet flying without passengers to its next destination—the leading apps in 2026 are XO (by VistaJet), LunaJets, and Wheels Up. The XO app is particularly popular for its "Jet Deals" section, which lists available empty legs at discounts of up to 75% off standard charter prices. LunaJets, based in Europe, offers a highly-rated app that aggregates empty legs from a fleet of over 4,800 aircraft globally. Another notable player is PrivateFly, which provides real-time alerts for specific routes you might be watching. The appeal of these apps is the ability to fly private for the price of a commercial business-class ticket, but there is a major catch: empty legs are incredibly inflexible. They are only available because someone else booked a one-way flight, so if that original passenger cancels or changes their time, your empty leg flight is automatically canceled as well. For those with a flexible schedule and a sense of adventure, these apps provide the most accessible gateway into the world of luxury aviation.
