Gulfstream G V
This empty leg private jet charter spans one of aviation's great long-haul routes, connecting Shanghai Pudong (ZSPD) with Van Nuys (KVNY), Southern California's premier private aviation gateway. Departing on 20 August during peak summer vacation season, the flight suits travellers concluding business in China's commercial capital or families returning from Asia to the Los Angeles area in time for the final weeks of summer. Shanghai's status as a global financial and cultural centre pairs naturally with Van Nuys's proximity to Los Angeles, Malibu, and the wider Southern California coastline, making this an exceptionally appealing transpacific segment.
Flying this route is the Gulfstream G-V, an ultra long range aircraft purpose-built for missions of this scale. Accommodating up to sixteen passengers, the G-V offers a spacious cabin with multiple seating zones, a fully enclosed lavatory, and a galley capable of serving substantial meal service across the many hours aloft. Its cabin altitude technology and sound-dampened interior help passengers arrive feeling notably fresher than after a comparable commercial long-haul flight, while generous stand-up headroom allows genuine movement during the crossing.
Securing this empty leg charter is a rare opportunity to experience ultra long range private jet travel on one of the industry's most capable aircraft, on a transpacific routing that is seldom offered as a one-way segment. Flexible travellers ready to align with the 20 August departure gain access to a premium charter experience between Asia and Southern California.

The Gulfstream G V empty leg listed here flew on 20th August 2026. Empty legs on this route are listed from time to time, so here is what is open now, and you can ask us to email you when the next one appears.

An empty leg flight occurs when a private jet needs to return to its home base or reposition for the next charter without passengers.
Empty leg flights have fixed departure times and destinations since they are repositioning flights. However, we have access to thousands of empty legs across the globe, so there is often flexibility in finding a flight that matches your schedule.
Our team monitors empty leg availability in real-time across our global network of operators. Simply enter your desired route and dates, and we will notify you of matching opportunities. You can also browse our current listings above.
Absolutely. Empty leg flights use the same aircraft, crews, and safety standards as regular charter flights.
