Premier Air Charter is an FAA Part 135 charter operator based in Carlsbad, California, in the San Diego area, and its empty leg flights are listed on SkyAccess. Empty legs are the one-way trips its jets fly without passengers to reposition, and SkyAccess posts these empty leg flights so travelers can book a one-way charter at a lower cost.
Operating across light and midsize jets through larger cabins, Premier makes empty leg charter suitable for small groups on regional flights and larger parties on longer transcontinental repositioning flights.
From the San Diego region, Premier's empty leg charter activity often links Carlsbad and San Diego empty legs with destinations across California, the West and beyond. The exact city pairs depend on where each aircraft is scheduled to fly next. Premier holds an ARGUS Gold rating and is Wyvern registered, two independent safety audits covering maintenance, crew experience and operational procedures alongside its FAA Part 135 certificate, and those checks apply to repositioning flights as well as full charters.
