About Merlin1
Merlin1 is an FAA Part 135 charter operator whose empty leg flights are listed on SkyAccess, giving travelers access to one-way charter pricing on a Texas-based operation. The company has run charter flights across Texas for more than 15 years, and its empty leg charter inventory comes from aircraft repositioning between its hubs.
The fleet is based in Texas, with hubs in San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and Austin. As a result, the most frequent empty legs run between these Texas cities and on to either coast, where an aircraft often needs to reposition back to a Texas base.
As an FAA Part 135 operator, Merlin1 flies under the federal rules that govern commercial charter, covering pilot duty limits, maintenance, and operational control, and it performs its own in-house maintenance, including heavy checks. Those same standards apply to a discounted empty leg as to a full charter.
