On the Melbourne – Queenstown route, availability shifts by the hour: an aircraft returning empty to base can be offered well below list price. Queenstown Airport is approche de montagne, exploitation de jour privilégiée.
The Pilatus PC-24 positioned on this route offers 8 seats and a cruise speed of 800 km/h, giving 3 h 04 door-to-door over the 2,138 km segment.
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 Melbourne and Queenstown, a non-disclosure agreement can be attached to the charter file on request.
The €12,800 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.
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.
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 €12,800 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.
This segment is advertised for departure this weekend. On a route such as Melbourne – Queenstown, 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.
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.
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.
The current offer shows €12,800 for the whole aircraft (Pilatus PC-24). The final rate depends on the date, the aircraft actually available and local taxes.
About 3 h 04 of block time for 2,138 km, excluding taxi delays. Add around twenty minutes of departure formalities and five to ten minutes on arrival.
