Embraer announced it has surpassed 2,000 business jet deliveries, marking a defining moment in the company’s history. The milestone aircraft is a Praetor 500, delivered to an undisclosed corporate flight department during a ceremony at Embraer’s Executive Jets state-of-the-art Global Customer Center in Melbourne, Florida.
The Praetor 500 is the most disruptive and technologically advanced business jet in its class, delivering industry-leading range, speed and performance. It is the fastest and furthest-flying midsize jet, capable of true nonstop North America corner-to-corner flights, such as Miami to Seattle or Los Angeles to New York. The aircraft offers an impressive intercontinental range of 3,340 nautical miles (6,186 km) with four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves.
“Delivering our 2,000th business jet is more than just a milestone number. It is a powerful reflection of the strength of our product portfolio, our unwavering commitment to our customers and the dedication of our employees who take pride in building every aircraft,” said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets.
Embraer’s executive aviation business has accumulated an average compound growth rate of 14% since 2002, when the first executive jet model was delivered. In 2024 alone, nearly one in every three small and midsize cabin jets delivered was an Embraer Phenom or Praetor.
