Real-time empty legs and alternatives
SkyAccess: our full review
The new American platform dedicated to empty legs: its model, its promises and the alternatives worth knowing.
About SkyAccess
SkyAccess is an American digital platform, launched in 2025 in Los Angeles by its co-founder and CEO Daniil Buriev. Its niche is specific: empty legs — repositioning trips operated without passengers, long hidden behind broker networks or operators’ internal systems.
The concept is to transform this market inefficiency into a transparent marketplace, where you can book a last-minute empty-leg flight at a reduced price, directly.
The SkyAccess model: the empty-leg marketplace
SkyAccess aggregates the repositioning inventory of Part 135-certified operators in real time and makes it directly bookable:
- Up to -80% compared with standard charter rates
- More than 10,000 active flights claimed
- No membership and no intermediary markup
- Search and booking through the platform
It is a “pure-play empty-leg” approach — clever, yet inherently limited by nature: an empty leg imposes its origin, its destination and its dates.
SkyAccess’s strengths
Very aggressive pricing: empty legs offer the deepest discounts on the market.
Transparency: inventory made public and directly bookable.
Simplicity: no membership, online booking.
Volume: more than 10,000 active flights advertised.
Points to consider
Very young structure: founded in 2025, with a small team; track record and customer service are yet to be fully tested.
Zero flexibility: an empty leg fixes route and schedule — you adapt to the offer, not the other way around.
No bespoke service: for a precise itinerary on a fixed date, an empty leg is rarely the right answer.
Who is SkyAccess recommended for?
SkyAccess is aimed at opportunistic and flexible travelers who are willing to plan their journey around available empty legs to get the best price, primarily in the American market.
Private Jets Connect: the bespoke alternative
Private Jets Connect combines the best of both worlds:
- Access to empty legs when they match your itinerary.
- Bespoke charter when your dates and route are fixed.
- A single point of contact to secure every detail.
- Every type of aircraft, anywhere in the world.

Verdict and rating
SkyAccess is a promising platform for empty legs, with very aggressive pricing for those who are flexible. Its youth and the absence of bespoke service nonetheless make a broker like Private Jets Connect the better choice whenever your itinerary has fixed constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our services
What is SkyAccess?
SkyAccess is an digital platform dedicated to empty legs, launched in 2025 in Los Angeles. It aggregates the repositioning inventory of Part 135-certified operators in real time and makes it directly bookable, with no membership or intermediary.
What savings does SkyAccess offer?
The company advertises up to -80% compared with standard charter rates, with more than 10,000 active flights. Since empty legs are repositioning trips, they offer little flexibility on schedules and routes.
Is SkyAccess reliable?
It is a very young structure (founded in 2025, small team). Inventory comes from Part 135-certified operators. For a strategic or inflexible flight, an established broker remains a safer choice.
SkyAccess or Private Jets Connect: which to choose?
SkyAccess is interesting for hunting an empty leg at the best price, if your dates are flexible. Private Jets Connect, as a broker, also handles empty legs but specializes above all in bespoke charter, with a single point of contact and the assurance of a flight tailored to your constraints.
