Embraer has reached a historic milestone in its trajectory by celebrating the delivery of its 2,000th executive jet.
The aircraft chosen to symbolize this achievement is the Praetor 500, delivered to the aviation department of a major company (identity not disclosed) at Embraer’s facility in Melbourne, Florida.
Fastest and longest-range midsize jet in the world
The Praetor 500 is considered the fastest and longest-range midsize business jet in the world. With an impressive range of 3,340 nautical miles (6,186 km), the aircraft allows nonstop flights between cities such as Miami and Seattle or Los Angeles and New York, carrying four passengers with NBAA IFR reserves.
Designed with cutting-edge technology, the model features full fly-by-wire digital flight controls, active turbulence reduction, and short-field performance, offering the corporate market capabilities usually reserved for larger aircraft.

Continuous growth of Embraer Executive Jets

In 2024 alone, one out of every three small or midsize jets delivered worldwide was a Phenom or Praetor from the Brazilian manufacturer, consolidating the company’s relevance in the global market.
In addition to reinforcing Embraer’s leadership position, the delivery of the Praetor 500 to a corporate client highlights the growing trend of companies investing in executive aviation to optimize travel and boost the productivity of their executives.
