About Planet 9
Planet 9 is an FAA Part 135 charter operator headquartered at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles, California, and its empty leg flights appear on SkyAccess for travelers chasing one-way charter value. Empty legs arise whenever Planet 9's aircraft reposition between trips or return home after a one-way booking, leaving a discounted repositioning flight open to fill.
Planet 9 specializes in the ultra-long-range and heavy end of the market, with wide, transcontinental cabins that seat large groups in full standing comfort and can cross oceans nonstop, so an empty leg here can mean a true intercontinental flight at a fraction of the usual price.
With its base in Los Angeles and a presence in markets like New York, London and Lisbon, Planet 9's empty leg flights tend to run on long US transcontinental and international corridors. Flexible travelers who match an existing one-way segment capture the best empty leg deals. As a Part 135 operator, Planet 9 maintains strict operational control, professional crew training and rigorous maintenance, and the same operation that flies its full-fare charters also flies the discounted repositioning leg.
