Embraer today announced the delivery of the first Praetor 600E to Flexjet, making the company the fleet launch customer for Embraer's next-generation super-midsize jet.
The model was unveiled alongside the Praetor 500E in February of this year, introducing a series of enhancements designed to elevate the customer experience. The Praetor 600E received triple certification from ANAC, FAA, and EASA in April 2026, and the Praetor 500E in June 2026 (see AVIONEWS), paving the way for aircraft entry into service.
The companies’ relationship dates back to 2003 and includes several significant key milestones, including Flexjet’s selection as fleet launch customer for the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 in 2019. In February 2025, the companies announced a landmark agreement valued at up to USD $7 billion, including a firm order for 182 aircraft and options for an additional 30 aircraft, alongside an enhanced services and support agreement (see AVIONEWS). The delivery of the first Praetor 600E marks the latest milestone under that agreement and will be followed by Flexjet’s first Praetor 500E delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026, when the company will also become fleet launch customer for the aircraft.
With an intercontinental range of 4,018 nautical miles (7,441 km) with four passengers, the Praetor 600E enables non-stop missions between major city pairs, including London-New York and São Paulo-Miami.
