Houston's private aviation is anchored by the energy industry and a deep base of executive travel across Sugar Land, Hobby, and the city's reliever airports. Texas-triangle and coastal business runs dominate. On the Houston end, private flights usually use Sugar Land Regional (SGR) and Ellington (EFD), boarding at a private FBO terminal rather than an airline terminal.
At 994 miles this is light and midsize jets territory: aircraft like the Citation XLS+ and Embraer Phenom 300 have the range and cabin to fly it nonstop in about 2h 25m. Demand out of Houston peaks around the fall and spring energy-business season, when repositioning flights, and so empty legs, are most frequent.
An empty leg from Houston to Scottsdale exists because an operator has to fly the aircraft along this route anyway, to reach its next client or to return to base, so it sells that one-way flight for the whole aircraft, typically 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter. The departure time follows the operator's schedule. If your dates are fixed, a full charter on the same route lets you choose the time.
