Embraer Marks 2,000th Business Jet Delivery With Praetor 500 in Florida

The milestone caps two decades of roughly 14% average growth in Embraer’s executive-jet business.

Overview

  • Embraer reached the 2,000‑delivery mark on August 28, 2025, handing a Praetor 500 to an undisclosed corporate flight department at its Global Customer Center in Melbourne, Florida.
  • President and CEO Michael Amalfitano said the handover reflects rising adoption of the Praetor family among major corporate flight departments.
  • Embraer lists ranges of 3,340 nm for the Praetor 500 and 4,018 nm for the Praetor 600 with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves, enabling U.S. transcontinental and select intercontinental routes.
  • The Praetor models incorporate full fly‑by‑wire with active turbulence reduction and short‑runway performance, according to the manufacturer.
  • Since launching executive jets in 2002, Embraer reports about a 14% compound annual growth rate, with nearly one‑third of 2024 small and midsize cabin deliveries being Phenom or Praetor models.
