New private jet empty leg aggregator EmptyLegFinder.aero achieves rapid adoption and secures paying customers within 24 hours of public launch.
EmptyLegFinder.aero, a new online marketplace dedicated to discounted private jet empty leg flights, today announced it has achieved 400% subscriber growth in the first six days following its public launch on February 17, 2026. The platform also secured its first paying customers within 24 hours of going live — a milestone that the company says confirms strong, pre-existing demand for a centralized empty leg marketplace.
Empty leg flights are one-way repositioning flights operated when a private jet must return to its base or travel to pick up another client. These flights are typically offered at deep discounts — often up to 80% below standard charter rates — but have historically been difficult for travellers to find in one place. EmptyLegFinder.aero addresses this gap by aggregating empty leg inventory from operators across the United States and Canada into a single, searchable platform.
The company conducted a private soft launch in January 2026 with a select group of known users to validate the platform before opening to the public. The response following the public launch has exceeded internal projections, with daily subscriber growth continuing throughout the first week of operation.
EmptyLegFinder.aero is affiliated with Mach2, a private aviation company that specializes in full-price, ad hoc charter services booked directly with operators. The launch of EmptyLegFinder.aero represents a strategic expansion into the value-driven segment of the private travel market, serving travellers who seek the experience of private aviation at accessible price points.
