Charter an Embraer Legacy 600

The Embraer Legacy 600 is a large-cabin business jet produced by Embraer in Brazil, sharing the same 12.93 m three-zone cabin as the Legacy 650 but with a shorter range of 3,250 nm (6,019 km) and a lower maximum takeoff weight. Derived from the ERJ-135 regional airliner, it was the aircraft that established Embraer's position in the large-cabin business jet market before the Legacy 650 extended its range and payload. The cabin dimensions are identical to the 650: 12.93 m long, 2.10 m wide, 1.82 m high, full stand-up headroom, three passenger zones, two lavatories (forward and aft) and a large galley. The luggage compartment holds approximately 7 cubic metres (450 kg), one of the largest baggage capacities in any business jet at this charter price point.

For clients who need the Legacy cabin experience, 10 to 13 passengers, three zones, sleeping positions, two bathrooms, on missions within 3,250 nm, the Legacy 600 provides this at charter rates below the Legacy 650 while delivering an identical interior footprint. It covers all European destinations comfortably non-stop, reaches the Gulf with one fuel stop, and handles medium-haul African and Middle East routes efficiently. Private Jets UK arranges Legacy 600 charters from all UK airports. See our full fleet and pricing at the private jet price guide or browse our complete fleet.

Why charter the Legacy 600?

• The same three-zone cabin as the Legacy 650 at a lower charter rate. The cabin dimensions are identical to the Legacy 650: same 12.93 m length, same width, same height, same zone layout. Charter rates for the Legacy 600 run approximately 10 to 15% lower, reflecting the shorter range and lower operating weight. For missions within 3,250 nm, it delivers the same interior experience at a more accessible price;
• Two lavatories, forward and aft. Two separate bathroom facilities is uncommon in the large-cabin charter category at this price point. For groups of 10 to 13 passengers on 4 to 5-hour European or Middle East sectors, having both a forward and aft lavatory is a practical difference versus single-lavatory competitors;
• Nearly 7 cubic metres of luggage capacity. At approximately 7 m³ and 450 kg payload, the baggage hold is among the largest available in any business jet at this charter rate. For groups travelling with significant luggage, sports equipment or corporate materials, the capacity means no difficult choices about what to leave behind;
• Sleeping positions available throughout all three zones. Each pair of opposing armchairs converts to a full sleeping berth, a standard feature across all Legacy 600 configurations. For overnight or early-morning sectors across Europe and the Middle East, sleeping is available across the full cabin rather than only in a dedicated aft zone;
• Up to 13 passengers with individual space. The maximum certified capacity of 13 accommodates corporate teams, family groups and delegations in a three-zone cabin where each passenger has individual space rather than a shared row;
• Large galley with full hot meal service. The forward galley supports complete hot meal service on any sector length, which is a reasonable expectation on the 3 to 5-hour sectors this aircraft typically covers.

Charter cost - Legacy 600 prices from UK airports

Hourly rates run from approximately £4,400 to £5,200, below the Legacy 650 and broadly comparable with the Challenger 605, while delivering substantially more cabin length and two lavatories. On European and Middle East sectors where the range limitation is not a constraint, the per-seat economics for groups of 10 to 13 are among the better options in the large-cabin category.

Indicative one-way prices from UK airports:

• London to Dubai - from £26,000 (10 passengers, one fuel stop, approximately 8 hours total);
• London to Geneva - from £8,400 (10 passengers, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes);
• London to Athens - from £17,600 (10 passengers, approximately 3 hours 20 minutes);
• London to Istanbul - from £19,000 (10 passengers, approximately 3 hours 30 minutes);

Ideal routes for the Legacy 600

It is most compelling on European and medium-haul missions where the full 12.93 m cabin and two-lavatory configuration are the priorities rather than ultra-long range. Its value proposition sharpens at higher passenger counts and sector lengths of 2 to 5 hours:

• UK to Southern and Eastern Europe (2 to 4 hours). Athens, Istanbul, Moscow, Kiev, Bucharest, Sofia. The Legacy 600 covers all of Eastern and Southern Europe non-stop with substantial range margin. For groups of 10 to 13, a single large-cabin aircraft is frequently more cost-efficient and operationally simpler than two smaller jets;
• UK to North Africa (2.5 to 4 hours). Marrakech, Cairo, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli. The range handles all North African destinations non-stop comfortably. For larger corporate or leisure groups to North African resort and business destinations, the Legacy 600 keeps the group together in one aircraft without stepping up to higher-rate alternatives;
• UK to Scandinavia and Baltic (1.5 to 2.5 hours). Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius. Short sectors where the cabin volume and two-lavatory layout benefit large groups significantly more than the time advantage of a faster super-midsize jet;
• UK to Middle East (6 to 7 hours with fuel stop). Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Gulf destinations require one fuel stop from UK airports. For groups of 10 who need the cabin length and two bathroom facilities on a 6 to 7-hour total journey, the Legacy 600 remains a practical option at rates below the Legacy 650;
• Large European corporate shuttles. Regular group movements of 10 to 13 employees on recurring European routes where consolidation on a single aircraft with full service is preferable to booking multiple smaller jets across different departure times.

Cabin and in-flight experience

The Legacy 600 cabin measures 12.93 m long, 2.10 m wide and 1.82 m high, full stand-up headroom throughout. The three zones provide a forward lounge, central dining and conference area, and an aft rest section. The layout is identical in footprint to the Legacy 650 that succeeded it.

Two lavatories, one forward and one aft, are an unusual feature at this price bracket. The forward lavatory is positioned for quick access from the lounge zone without passing through the conference area; the aft lavatory serves the rest zone. For groups of 10 to 13 on 3 to 5-hour sectors, the two-bathroom configuration removes a constraint that is common in competing aircraft.

• Zones. Three distinct passenger zones: forward lounge with sofa and armchairs, central conference and dining with large tables, aft rest zone;
• Sleeping. Each pair of opposing armchairs converts to a full sleeping berth. Available throughout all three zones, not just the aft section;
• Lavatories. Two, forward and aft. Uncommon in competing aircraft at this charter rate;
• Baggage. Approximately 7 m³ / 450 kg hold capacity, one of the larger holds in the large-cabin charter category;
• Galley. Spacious forward galley with full hot meal service capability;
• Storage. Wardrobe and overhead storage in addition to the hold, useful for garment bags and carry-on items on business travel.

Technical specifications

Legacy 600 vs similar aircraft

• Legacy 600 vs Legacy 650. The 650 is the direct successor with greater range (3,900 nm vs 3,250 nm), a higher maximum takeoff weight and six dedicated sleeping positions in the aft zone. The cabin dimensions are identical. Charter rates for the Legacy 650 run approximately 10 to 15% higher. For missions within 3,250 nm, which covers all of Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Near East, the Legacy 600 delivers the same cabin experience at a lower cost;
• Legacy 600 vs Challenger 605. The 605 has a shorter cabin (8.63 m vs 12.93 m) and only one lavatory. Charter rates are broadly comparable. For groups of up to 9 passengers on European sectors, the 605 is well matched. For groups of 10 to 13 who need the additional cabin length, three zones and two bathrooms, the Legacy 600 provides meaningfully more aircraft per pound of charter rate;
• Legacy 600 vs Challenger 850. The 850 is a converted CRJ200 with a longer cabin (14.76 m) but is narrower and has a higher cabin noise environment. Charter rates are broadly comparable. For groups of 13 to 14 the 850 has the capacity edge; for groups of 10 to 12 who prioritise cabin quality, noise levels and two lavatories, the Legacy 600 is the more refined option.
