Zurich anchors Switzerland's finance-driven private travel and serves as a gateway to the eastern Alps. Demand is business-led with a winter ski overlay. On the Zurich end, private flights usually use Zurich (ZRH), boarding at a private FBO terminal rather than an airline terminal.
At 162 miles this is light jets territory: aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it nonstop in about 45m. Demand out of Zurich peaks around the winter ski season and the finance calendar, when repositioning flights, and so empty legs, are most frequent.
An empty leg from Zurich to Munich 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.
