Embraer SA, the Brazil-based aircraft manufacturer, unveiled its new Praetor 500 mid-size and Praetor 600 super-mid-size business jets at Orlando Executive Airport last month.

CEO Michael Amalfitano said: “The Praetors are leading the way in redefining the characteristics of what a mid-size and super-mid-size aircraft can deliver to the market.

“The introduction of these aircraft supports our vision of giving our customers superior value and the best experience in the industry.”

The Praetor 600 jets will have an unprecedented range of 3,900 nautical miles, enabling non-stop flights between London and New York.

The Praetor 500 will be the fastest mid-size jet with a range of 3,250 nautical miles and is capable of reaching Europe from the west coast of the USA with a single stop.

Luciano Froes, senior vice-president (marketing) (www.embraer.com), said: “The new Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 will be the most disruptive and technologically advanced aircraft to enter the mid-size and super-mid-size categories.

"Different by design and disruptive by choice, these new aircraft will deliver the ultimate customer experience, with an unparalleled combination of performance, comfort and technology.”

The Praetor 600 is expected to enter service in the second quarter of 2019, followed by the Praetor 500 in the third quarter of 2019.
