The private jet charter industry had undergone a number of changes in the last decade, from newer, faster aircraft, to dealing with one economic downturn after another. During the Holiday Season, one of the changes that have truly changed the face of this industry is the prevalence and preference for empty leg/one-way flights. At one time, the industry was dominated by round trips. When you booked a jet, you paid for the trip down and the trip back. If you stayed in Palm Beach longer than the operators “minimums” allowed, you had to pay for the two round trips.
