45 North Aviation is an FAA Part 135 charter operator whose empty leg flights are listed on SkyAccess, headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan with aircraft also positioned in Charlottesville, Virginia. Because its jets reposition between those bases and destinations across the United States and Canada, the company regularly generates empty leg charter availability that travelers can book one-way.
45 North's empty leg deals span a useful range, from shorter regional hops and smaller groups to heavier-cabin one-way charter legs.
Given the Traverse City and Charlottesville bases, the most common Traverse City empty legs and repositioning flights tend to connect northern Michigan with Midwest hubs, the East Coast, and seasonal leisure markets. These one-way charter segments exist because an aircraft has dropped off passengers and needs to fly back or onward, so the timing follows the operator's schedule. As a Part 135 certificate holder, 45 North operates the discounted leg under the FAA's commercial charter rules, the same standards behind its full-fare flights.
