The founder and brainchild of Flyemptyleg.com, Paul Ludick has indicated “It’s about time that Charter companies are being allowed and supported to promote their empty leg flights directly to the public where anyone can then make direct contact with them and do business. This is exactly what Flyemptyleg.com will be doing for the charter companies”
According to Ludick, “Flyemptyleg.com was designed with the KISS principle in mind.

(keep it short and simple). Our platform allows the subscribed charter company or broker to log on, enter the data of the specific empty leg flight, and press submit, all in less than one minute.  We designed the website with the charter or broker administrator in mind who should not feel burdened to list their flights but rather be excited to list and promote their flights”. Furthermore, Ludick added, “We do not get paid a commission from any charter company but decided to remain independent and transparent where the subscribed charter company will only pay a nominal annual subscription fee to list their empty leg flights and promote their company”.

“We have decided to openly display all flights that the charter company lists so anyone in the world can freely search for a flight without first having to register which can be quite cumbersome at times. In addition, we have decided to not disclose on the website the actual details of the individual aircraft (apart from type and size) therefore promoting some privacy and discretion allowing the charter company some competitive advantage and also, some aircraft owners do not always want to publically advertise when and where their assets will be at specific times for safety and security reasons. Furthermore, when a client select a flight of interest, they get routed to a dedicated page where all the other listings of the same operator is listed along with all relevant contact details allowing the charter company to use this dedicated page to promote directly to their own clients” Ludick added.

Flyemptyleg.com has an imbedded database of over 47’000 locations consisting of airports, heliports and lake bays thereby catering for a worldwide audience. Furthermore, Flyemtyleg.com is the first website in the world to cater for both passenger and cargo empty leg listings all on one website. Allowance for Helicopter empty leg flights are also promoted. In addition, anyone in the world can register for free flight alerts emails where they can easily select where they want to fly from and to, earliest and latest flight date bracket, cargo or passenger flights and how frequent do they want to be notified of empty leg flights that match their search criteria. Multiple routes can be selected and edited or removed accordingly.

“Empty leg flights is not just extra revenue for charter companies at the moment, but if strategized and planned correctly can be a growing business model and revenue stream all on its own for the charter companies in  the future and we would like them to use Flyemptyleg.com as their one stop marketplace to promote their routings” Ludick said.
