Embraer has marked a significant achievement in its history, surpassing 2,000 business jet deliveries. The milestone aircraft, a Praetor 500, was handed over to an undisclosed corporate flight department during a special ceremony at the company’s Global Customer Center in Melbourne, Florida.
The Praetor 500 stands out as one of the most advanced midsize business jets available today. With category-leading range, speed, and performance, it is capable of nonstop flights across North America, such as Miami to Seattle or Los Angeles to New York. Offering an intercontinental range of 6,186 km with four passengers under NBAA IFR reserves, the Praetor 500 sets new standards for efficiency and comfort in its class.
Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, highlighted the importance of this accomplishment:
“Delivering our 2,000th business jet is more than a milestone—it’s proof of the strength of our portfolio, our unwavering commitment to customers, and the dedication of our employees who take pride in every aircraft we build. This achievement solidifies Embraer’s position as a global leader in business aviation and reflects the strong market confidence in our Praetor family, particularly among large corporate flight departments. Both the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 continue to earn recognition for their advanced technology and unmatched performance.”
With this milestone, Embraer reinforces its reputation as one of the world’s most innovative business jet manufacturers, combining cutting-edge technology with a customer-focused approach that continues to win trust worldwide.
