Embraer today announced it has surpassed 2,000 business jet deliveries, marking a defining moment in the company’s history. The milestone aircraft is a Praetor 500, delivered to an undisclosed corporate flight department during a ceremony at its Executive Jets state-of-the-art Global Customer Center in Melbourne, Florida.

The Praetor 500 is the business midsize jet, capable of true non-stop North America corner-to-corner flights, such as Miami to Seattle or Los Angeles to New York. The aircraft offers an intercontinental range of 3,340 nautical miles (6,186 km) with four passengers.

In addition to highlighting company growth, the delivery underscores the Praetor 500 and 600’s rising appeal among corporate flight departments. Complemented by best-in-class range, both aircraft provide passengers with access to more destinations around the world.

Embraer’s executive aviation business has accumulated an average compound growth rate of 14% since 2002, when the first executive jet model was delivered. In 2024 alone, nearly one in every three small and midsize cabin jets delivered was a Phenom or Praetor.
