About the HESN to OLBA route

Aswan International Airport (HESN) serves southern Egypt, lying close to the Nile and within easy reach of the Aswan Dam and nearby temple complexes, making it a popular departure point for travellers concluding a Nile cruise or cultural tour. Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport (OLBA) is Lebanon’s principal gateway, positioned on the Mediterranean coast just south of the capital and well placed for business visits or onward travel around the Levant.

This empty leg typically suits those wanting a direct, private transfer between Upper Egypt and Beirut without routing through a major hub. On a Legacy 500, the flight time is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, though this can vary with routing and weather conditions on the day.

The Legacy 500

The Legacy 500 is a super-midsize business jet, typically configured to carry around 6 to 8 passengers in a comfortable cabin with a flat floor and stand-up headroom. It falls into a range class suited to medium-haul sectors, generally covering distances of up to roughly 3,000 km non-stop depending on payload and conditions.

This aircraft class suits small groups or business parties who want a quicker, more private alternative to scheduled flights, combining a reasonably spacious cabin with efficient performance on regional routes such as Aswan to Beirut.

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 Because the aircraft’s schedule sets the timing, departure times can shift and a flight may be withdrawn if the original trip changes, so confirm details before you plan around it.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

Can I bring luggage and pets on this flight?

Typical baggage allowances on a Legacy 500 are generous for a jet of this size, though exact limits depend on passenger numbers and fuel load. Pets are often accommodated in the cabin, but this must be confirmed with the operator in advance, as policies vary by aircraft and tail number.

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

Empty leg flights are tied to the aircraft's existing positioning schedule, so flexibility is usually limited. Date changes may be possible if the aircraft's itinerary allows, but this should be checked directly with the operator before booking, as availability is not guaranteed.

Can I book a return flight from Beirut to Aswan as well?

A return sector is not automatically included with this empty leg, since it depends on the aircraft's onward schedule. If you need a return flight, it's worth asking the operator whether a matching empty leg or a separately priced charter can be arranged for your preferred dates.
