About the St. Gallen to Salzburg route

This empty leg flies from St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport in eastern Switzerland, close to Lake Constance and the Appenzell region, to Salzburg Airport in western Austria, gateway to the city of Mozart and the Austrian Alps. The route is popular with travellers heading to or from alpine resorts, business trips between the two regions, or short leisure breaks exploring Salzburg’s old town and surrounding countryside.

Given the relatively short distance between these two airports, flight time on a Pilatus PC-12/47E is typically around 45–55 minutes, though this can vary slightly depending on routing and weather conditions on the day.

The Pilatus PC-12/47E (NG)

The Pilatus PC-12/47E (NG) is a single-engine turboprop widely used for short to medium-range private flights. It typically accommodates up to 6-8 passengers, depending on configuration, and offers a respectable range class for regional European hops like this one.

Known for its flexibility, the PC-12 can access smaller regional airports such as Siena’s, making it well suited to point-to-point travel where larger jets may be impractical. It suits small groups or individuals prioritising convenience over cabin size.

How empty leg flights work

When a private jet flies one way for a client, it often has to return or reposition empty. Swift Jet Aviation offers these legs at a reduced rate. Because the aircraft’s schedule sets the timing, departure times can shift and a flight may be withdrawn if the original trip changes, so confirm details before you plan around it. For a fixed date and time, ask us for a private jet charter quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much luggage can I bring on this empty leg?

Luggage capacity on a Pilatus PC-12/47E is typically modest, suiting soft-sided bags more than large hard cases. Exact allowances depend on passenger numbers and the operator on the day, so it's best to confirm specifics with Swift Jet Aviation before booking.

Can I bring my pet on this flight?

Many empty leg flights can accommodate small pets in the cabin, subject to the operator's policies and any relevant cross-border pet travel documentation between Switzerland and Austria. Please check with Swift Jet Aviation in advance to confirm whether this particular aircraft and operator allow pets.

Is it possible to change the date of this empty leg flight?

Empty leg flights are typically fixed to a specific date and time, as they rely on the aircraft's existing repositioning schedule. Date changes are usually not possible, though Swift Jet Aviation may be able to suggest alternative empty legs or arrange a bespoke charter if your plans change.
