Ferry Operations

Ferry flights—also known as positioning or delivery flights—are non-revenue flights operated to move aircraft from one location to another. These flights are typically required when an aircraft needs to be transferred for maintenance, delivered to a new operator, repositioned for a lease, or returned to service after storage. Unlike commercial flights, ferry operations are focused purely on the relocation of the aircraft itself, often across long distances and under tight schedules. They play a crucial behind-the-scenes role in keeping airline fleets operational, compliant, and ready for service.
