I flew a flight from GRB to ORD with no passengers. I also had a flight with 1 person and we were delayed with a mechanical.

After a long delay for a AVL-ATL we had one passenger who was determined to make his international connection, I think he made it...

After another mechanical delay they had all of our passengers put on another flight from HHH to ATL, that one was empty.

I flew a C-2 full of toliet paper out to the USS George Washington during deployment, it was HIGH PRI cargo. We were "cubed" out on space and only had 100 lbs of cargo!

Gendex listed 0 passengers and 3 crew members

Capt., me, and fa.

No joke.

Ferry flights count?

If so, I've had some empty ones and some full ones...

I flew a scheduled flight the other day from Springfield, MO to DFW with zero pax. Whats worse, is that our crew was deadheaded in to fly this flight. Not a repo or MX flight either.

as a pax: 6 people on a 738 from BOS to EWR. Working, zero pax more than once a few 1 pax runs and a handful of under 5.

When I flew freight, I had a 3-5lb box from IND to IAH, in my C310. Best yet, that box contained simple pins with flags attached, to check the rigging on a E170!!! The next morning of course was a dead-head back home to Indiana.

EMB145XR Montreal-sEWeR, significant weather delays, most everyone got on the earlier flight, 1 PAX with a carry-on. I think I only zero-G'd him once (That thing is a rocket ship empty).

While a pax, I've been the only person a few times, but then I deliberately attempt to take the empty flights.
