40% of Europe’s private jets fly empty on their way home. Ledig is the marketplace where verified operators post those legs — and travellers book them. No broker. No markup.
The inefficiency
Four out of every ten
private jets fly empty.
In European private aviation — business jets, light charters, even helicopters — nearly half of all flights are repositioning legs. The jet is heading home, or to its next paying passenger, and flies empty. Ledig Air is where those seats meet the travellers already going that way.

01 — For operators
Post an empty leg in under a minute.
Pick an aircraft, set the route and a flexible window, name your price. Add any nearby arrival airports you’ll accept — the more flexible, the more matches.
02 — For travellers
Pick a few places, a rough week — we’ll find the jet going your way.
Tell Ledig where you’d like to go — a few destinations, a flexible date range. We’ll show every private jet heading that way. Pay, meet the pilot.
03 — The match
Two sides of the same flight,
meeting in the middle.
The operator has a plane going somewhere empty. The traveller needs to get there. Ledig is just the connection — transparent, direct, instant.
You talk to the operator. The operator talks to you. That’s it.
The operator sets the price. The price you see is the price you pay.
Verified AOC holders only. Every leg you see is a real one.
04 — Trust
What every Ledig booking rests on.
Three commitments we don’t compromise on — so the operator and the traveller can both show up knowing the flight is real, licensed, and paid for cleanly.
Verified operators only
Every operator holds a valid EASA AOC — verified before a single leg goes live.
Direct to the operator
You book directly with the operator flying the plane. No broker in the middle.
Payments on Europe's native rails
SEPA Instant by default. Cards, VAT invoices, crypto — Ledig picks the right rail.
05 — Payments
European railsPaid the way European aviation pays.
05 — Payments
On the rails European aviation actually uses.
SEPA Instant is the default — a free bank transfer that settles in seconds, the way European private aviation already pays. Cards, invoices (Net 7 for VAT-registered businesses), and crypto are all available when they fit; Ledig routes each booking via Stripe, Mollie, Adyen or GoCardless depending on the method. Funds sit on a segregated client account and release to the operator 24 hours before departure, and every booking generates a compliant VAT invoice.
