Flyte Makes Private Aviation More Accessible with Deeply Discounted “Empty Legs” Flights
Flyte, the aviation arm of Creatd, Inc., has just dropped a game-changer for the regional air travel market—Empty Legs, a pre-scheduled, one-way private flight option that offers up to 90% off traditional charter prices.
This new program monetizes otherwise idle repositioning flights, creating a high-margin revenue stream while opening the doors of private aviation to price-conscious business and first-time fliers. It’s more than just an affordable ride: it’s the foundation of Flyte’s bigger plan—transitioning to scheduled, per-seat Vision Jet shuttles informed by live market demand.
“Each booking gives us real-world demand insights,” said Jeremy Frommer, CEO of Creatd. “That data tells us where to launch our next shuttle.”
Turning Empty Flights Into Profit
Repositioning flights—flights that run empty to move aircraft where they're next needed—have long been an unavoidable cost in private aviation. Flyte flips the script by selling seats on these flights, keeping operational costs minimal and margins high.
In return, passengers get the full private jet experience: private terminal access, fast boarding, and all standard amenities—minus the typical charter price tag.
Laying the Groundwork for Scheduled Jet Service
While the deals are a draw, the real innovation is the data. Flyte will use booking behavior, route popularity, and load factors to inform where to deploy scheduled routes on Vision Jets—compact aircraft known for low operating costs and short-runway versatility.
These insights will guide service between underserved city pairs in the Northeast, expanding Flyte’s footprint without expanding its fleet.
Strategic Partnerships for Fast Scaling
To scale fast without owning more planes, Flyte is tapping into a network of Part 135 certified operators. These partner fleets supply the repositioning inventory, instantly boosting Flyte’s route coverage while maintaining an asset-light, capital-efficient model.
“We can scale capacity rapidly while keeping balance-sheet leverage low,” said Flyte Founder Marc Sellouk.
Smart Distribution for Seat Absorption
Empty Legs inventory is searchable in real time via Flyte’s web app and distributed through select broker channels to maximize seat absorption and data capture—all part of the feedback loop for refining future pricing, routing, and scheduling.The Bigger Vision: Regional Air Travel, Reimagined
Flyte is pushing to make regional private aviation feel less like a luxury and more like a reliable, scalable transportation network. With Empty Legs as the entry point and Vision Jet shuttles on the horizon, Flyte is betting big on data-fueled aviation that blends affordability, accessibility, and efficiency.
