It refers to a non-revenue-generating flight typically used for delivery. A ferry flight can be used to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deliver a new aircraft from the manufacturer to its customer<\/li>\n<li>Move one aircraft from a base of operations to another<\/li>\n<li>Return an aircraft to base<\/li>\n<li>Move an aircraft to or from a repair facility<\/li>\n<li>Move an empty airliner from one airport to another, which are also known as positioning flights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Obtaining a Ferry Permit<\/h2>\n<p>Before an aircraft can be considered for ferrying, it must receive a permit. The permit is a written authorization that\u2019s issued by the National Airworthiness Authority. It gives permission for a non-airworthy civil aircraft to be moved from its present location to a repair facility.<\/p>\n<p>In rare cases, a private charter flight can double as a ferry flight. This is specifically referred to as an empty leg flight. An empty leg flight is often advertised for a reduced cost in an effort for the operator to recoup the incurred flight costs. However, if a charter delivers its passengers to their destination, but needs to return to its originating base without passengers, the return flight would be considered a ferry flight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A ferry flight is the opposite of a private charter flight.","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60931,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1402],"tags":[978],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63008"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63008"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63008\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94028,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63008\/revisions\/94028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
