Embraer Executive Jets: Charter and Ownership Guide
Embraer's executive range runs from the Phenom very light jets through the Praetor midsize family to the out-of-production Legacy and Lineage large-cabin aircraft.
Embraer Executive Jets in the charter market
Origin: Brazil — light, midsize and large-cabin executive jets.
The Praetor 500 and 600 brought full standing height and flat floors into the midsize and super-midsize classes, which is why they now appear in Gulf charter fleets alongside Challengers and Longitudes. Hot-and-high performance is a genuine advantage on summer departures from inland Saudi airports.
At the large end, the Legacy 650E's baggage hold — close to 286 cu ft — remains unmatched in its class, and the Lineage 1000E offers airliner-derived cabin volume. Both are out of production but still flying.
Phenom aircraft are efficient for one to two hour legs with four or five passengers. Beyond that, a midsize cabin is usually the better answer, and we will say so.
