The Lyon – Bordeaux route is among the most requested by the private operators in our international network. Lyon-Bron is aéroport d'affaires historique de la région Rhône-Alpes, which allows an aircraft to be positioned quickly whenever a slot frees up.

The aircraft assigned to this segment, a Beechcraft King Air 360 (Turboprop, 8 passengers), covers the 454 km in 1 h 11 block time, with no technical stop.

Confidentiality and travel security

No public passenger list, no commercial terminal, no exposure in departure lounges. Manifests remain strictly between the certified operator and the relevant authorities. For sensitive trips between Lyon and Bordeaux, a non-disclosure agreement can be attached to the charter file on request.

What the advertised rate covers

The €4,300 figure is all-inclusive for the whole aircraft: crew, fuel, landing and parking fees, operator's insurance, standard catering and handling at both ends. Specific passenger taxes, premium catering requests and ground transfers are quoted separately and confirmed before the charter contract is issued.

Seasonality of traffic between Lyon and Bordeaux

Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.

Why this Lyon – Bordeaux segment is priced below market

An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €4,300 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.

Departure window and responsiveness

This segment is advertised for departure within 48 h. On a route such as Lyon – Bordeaux, the average lifespan of a repositioning offer is measured in hours, not days. A request submitted before midday typically receives an operator confirmation the same day, subject to crew availability and slot allocation.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book?

Technically, a departure can be arranged in four to six hours if an aircraft and crew are available. In practice, confirming twenty-four hours ahead secures slots at Lyon and Bordeaux much more reliably.

Is the price per person or for the whole aircraft?

For the whole aircraft. The 8 seats of the Beechcraft King Air 360 are included in the stated amount: the cost per passenger falls automatically as more travellers board.

Is EmptyFast the operator of the flight?

No. EmptyFast, a Redwood Aviation brand, acts exclusively as a matchmaking intermediary. The flight is operated by an airline holding an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), solely responsible for operations, safety and any delays or cancellations.

What happens if the flight is cancelled?

Cancellation terms are those of the operator, communicated with the charter contract before any payment. EmptyFast assumes no operational or financial liability in the event of cancellation, delay or change of aircraft: see the Disclaimer page for full details of the clauses.
