Empty leg flights to Nassau are discounted one-way private jet legs into Lynden Pindling International (MYNN) — a 30–45 minute hop from South Florida that generates a steady stream of repositioning legs back and forth across the Florida Straits.
Sourced from FAA Part 135 charter operators repositioning aircraft through Lynden Pindling International (MYNN) and the 60-mile radius around it. Updated hourly.
Nassau is the closest international private-jet destination to the continental US — barely half an hour from Miami across the Florida Straits. That proximity is what drives the empty-leg market here: jets shuttle charter clients to New Providence and the Out Islands, then reposition back to Florida (or onward to the next island) empty. Those short, cheap legs in both directions are what you book on this page.
Lynden Pindling International (MYNN) is the primary field, with full customs and immigration for the international arrival. Because the Miami–Nassau corridor is so short, even a modest empty-leg discount produces a very low absolute price — this is one of the few private-jet routes where the per-seat cost can approach a premium commercial fare.
Nassau also functions as a Bahamas gateway: empty legs frequently chain onward to Exuma, Eleuthera, and the Abacos, or back across to Fort Lauderdale and Opa-Locka. If you're flexible on timing, the Florida–Bahamas corridor offers some of the most frequent short-haul empty-leg inventory anywhere.
Private arrival into Nassau clears customs and immigration at the FBO, not the main terminal — you're through formalities and into a car in minutes rather than queuing behind scheduled-service crowds.
Because Miami–Nassau is only 30–45 minutes, the empty-leg price on a light or midsize jet can be remarkably low — and you keep the schedule flexibility commercial island-hoppers can't offer.
Nassau empty legs often connect onward to Exuma, Eleuthera, and the Abacos. Booking the repositioning leg into Nassau can set up a discounted continuation deeper into the Bahamas.
A retail one-way charter from Miami to Nassau on a light jet runs roughly $6,000–$11,000 for such a short hop. As an empty leg, the same flight can clear in the low-to-mid four figures — and because the corridor is so active, new repositioning legs in both directions appear frequently.
The Florida–Bahamas corridor is flown mostly on light and midsize jets (Phenom 300, Citation CJ-series, Citation XLS) and occasionally turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12. Longer empty legs reaching Nassau from the Northeast use super-midsize aircraft. All clear customs at the FBO on arrival.
