Charter an Embraer Praetor 600

The Embraer Praetor 600 is the only super-midsize business jet capable of flying London to New York non-stop as a matter of standard operational specification — a routing that previously required a large-cabin jet or a fuel stop. With 4,018 nm (7,441 km) range, full fly-by-wire controls with Active Turbulence Reduction, and a flat-floor stand-up cabin of 8.38 m in an aircraft derived from the Legacy 500, the Embraer Praetor 600 defines the upper ceiling of the super-midsize category. First delivered in June 2019 to a European customer, it is produced at Embraer's facility in Melbourne, Florida.

The Embraer Praetor 600 cabin seats up to 12 passengers in maximum configuration and 9 in the standard charter layout, which includes a forward four-seat club and a three-seat divan in the rear that converts to a sleeping berth. Both sides of the cabin feature seven windows for natural lighting. The rear lavatory and baggage compartment provide privacy on par with large-cabin jets. The Collins Pro Line Fusion flight deck has four 15.1-inch LCD displays, Head-Up Display, Enhanced Vision System, Active Turbulence Reduction and Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System. Ka-band high-speed Wi-Fi is standard. All seats convert to fully flat beds. In February 2026, Embraer announced the Praetor 600E with 42-inch 4K OLED Smart Window displays and next-generation cabin management — expected in service 2029. Charter prices start from approximately £4,200 per flight hour. For the full fleet see our private jet price guide or browse our complete fleet.

Why charter the Embraer Praetor 600?

• The only super-midsize jet that flies London to New York non-stop. It is the sole super-midsize aircraft certified and consistently capable of the London to New York transatlantic sector non-stop at NBAA IFR reserves. At 4,018 nm (7,441 km) the range exceeds all competing super-midsize jets including the Gulfstream G280 and Challenger 350. The additional fuel capacity - 15,986 lb versus 12,108 lb on the Legacy 500 predecessor - is enabled by two under-fuselage belly tanks adding 2,928 lb to the standard fuel load, plus more powerful 7,528 lbf HTF7500E engines;
• Full fly-by-wire with Active Turbulence Reduction - the only super-midsize with this standard. The Embraer Praetor 600 shares the Praetor 500's full fly-by-wire flight control system and is the only super-midsize jet with Active Turbulence Reduction as standard. The system automatically applies corrective control surface movements when turbulence is detected before passengers feel the disturbance. On 7 to 8-hour transatlantic and Gulf sectors where convective and clear-air turbulence are common, this technology provides a cabin comfort standard more typically associated with large-cabin jets;
• All seats convert to fully flat beds - large-cabin sleep standard in a super-midsize. Every seat on the Embraer Praetor 600 converts to a fully flat sleeping bed. Combined with the three-seat divan at the rear of the cabin, this provides up to 4 or 5 simultaneous sleeping positions on overnight transatlantic and Gulf sectors. The 5,800 ft cabin altitude at maximum operating altitude reduces passenger fatigue — the same cabin altitude specified by large-cabin jets at significantly higher charter rates;
• 8.38 m flat-floor cabin with seven windows per side - largest in super-midsize. The Embraer Praetor 600 cabin measures 8.38 m in length with a flat floor throughout - no raised aisle step. At 1.83 m height all passengers stand and move freely. Seven windows per side provide natural light along the full cabin length. The flat floor with full stand-up height across a 8.38 m cabin is above the standard for the super-midsize category and approaches the lower end of the large-cabin specification;
• Collins Pro Line Fusion with HUD, E2VS and ROAAS - large-cabin avionics in super-midsize. The flight deck features four 15.1-inch Collins Pro Line Fusion LCD displays, a Head-Up Display for low-visibility approach operations, an Enhanced Vision System providing real-world imagery ahead of the aircraft, and Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System. Predictive windshear detection alerts the crew before entering windshear. This avionics specification matches large-cabin jets at 20 to 30% higher charter rates;
• Zero hull-loss accident record and Praetor 600E upgrade path to 2029. The Embraer Praetor 600 has a perfect safety record with zero hull-loss accidents since entering service in 2019. For charter clients selecting on safety history, this is a meaningful credential. The Praetor 600E, announced February 2026 with 42-inch 4K OLED Smart Window displays and next-generation cabin management, is scheduled for service in 2029 — confirming Embraer's long-term commitment to the platform.

Ideal routes for the Embraer Praetor 600

The Embraer Praetor 600 is best suited to to transatlantic and intercontinental missions where the 7,441 km range, flat-bed seats and Active Turbulence Reduction serve groups of 8 to 12 at super-midsize rates rather than large-cabin prices:

• Transatlantic non-stop (7 to 8 hours) - the defining route. London to New York non-stop for 9 passengers is the sector that defines the Praetor 600. No competing super-midsize jet does this non-stop under standard operating conditions. The flat-bed seats mean all passengers can sleep on the overnight sector. Active Turbulence Reduction provides a smooth crossing above the North Atlantic. The ROAAS system adds precision on the JFK or Newark approach;
• UK to Gulf non-stop (6 to 7 hours). Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Kuwait City are all within comfortable non-stop range with significant fuel margin. For groups of 8 to 12 on Gulf corporate missions at super-midsize rates, the Embraer Praetor 600's flat-bed seats and Active Turbulence Reduction provide overnight mission capability on the 6-hour-plus Gulf sectors;
• UK to South Asia non-stop (8 to 9 hours). Mumbai and Karachi are within non-stop range from UK airports — a sector that requires the Praetor 600's 7,441 km to achieve without a fuel stop. For corporate groups making Mumbai non-stop at super-midsize rates rather than large-cabin prices, the Praetor 600 is the only aircraft in the category;
• UK to Africa non-stop (6 to 8 hours). Lagos, Nairobi, Accra and Dakar are all within comfortable non-stop range. The 7,441 km capability covers Sub-Saharan Africa from UK airports. Active Turbulence Reduction is relevant on West Africa and Indian Ocean routing where convective weather at cruise altitude is common;
• Large groups of 10 to 12 at super-midsize rates. The Embraer Praetor 600 accommodates up to 12 in maximum configuration — more than any competing super-midsize jet. For corporate delegations of 10 to 12 on transatlantic missions where two smaller jets would be operationally complex and a large-cabin jet is over-budget, the Praetor 600 is the single-aircraft solution.

Cabin and in-flight experience

The Embraer Praetor 600 cabin measures 8.38 m long, 2.08 m wide and 1.83 m high — flat-floor throughout with full stand-up height. Seven windows per side run the length of the cabin. The standard charter configuration seats 9 passengers: a four-seat club forward and a three-seat divan aft. All Embraer Praetor 600 seats convert to fully flat sleeping beds; the divan provides an additional rest surface. The rear lavatory is fully enclosed with a solid door — a privacy standard typically found only in large-cabin jets.

The 5,800 ft cabin altitude at 13,716 m reduces fatigue on long sectors. Two Honeywell HTF7500E engines at 7,528 lbf each — more powerful than those on the Praetor 500 — power the Praetor 600 to Mach 0.83 maximum cruise. Total baggage capacity is 155 ft³. Ka-band Wi-Fi and the Collins Pro Line Fusion flight deck with HUD and E2VS are standard. Active Turbulence Reduction on the Embraer Praetor 600 is the only technology in the super-midsize category that automatically smooths turbulence before passengers feel it.

Technical specifications

Embraer Praetor 600 vs similar aircraft

• Embraer Praetor 600 vs Embraer Praetor 500. The Praetor 500 is the smaller midsize sibling — midsize versus super-midsize — with 3,340 nm range (vs 4,018 nm), a shorter cabin (7.31 m vs 8.38 m), fewer passengers (9 vs 12 max) and less powerful engines (6,540 lbf vs 7,528 lbf). Charter rates for the Embraer Praetor 600 run approximately 20 to 25% higher. Both share full fly-by-wire, Active Turbulence Reduction, Collins Pro Line Fusion and Ka-band Wi-Fi. For London–New York non-stop or groups above 9, the Praetor 600 is essential. For Gulf missions with groups of up to 9, the Praetor 500 provides the same technology at lower rates;
• Embraer Praetor 600 vs Challenger 350. The Challenger 350 has a slightly wider cabin (2.18 m vs 2.08 m) and a strong operator network, but less range (3,200 nm vs 4,018 nm) and no Active Turbulence Reduction or flat-bed seats. The Embraer Praetor 600 counters with 818 nm more range — the margin that makes London–New York non-stop possible — plus full fly-by-wire, flat-bed seats across all positions, Ka-band Wi-Fi and the Collins HUD/E2VS specification. For transatlantic routing and sleep requirement on long sectors, the Praetor 600 is decisively ahead;
• Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280. The G280 has 3,600 nm of range (vs 4,018 nm for the Embraer Praetor 600), 10 passengers and Gulfstream's service network. Charter rates are broadly comparable. The Praetor 600 counters with 418 nm additional range, full fly-by-wire with Active Turbulence Reduction, flat-bed seats on all positions and 12 passengers maximum. For groups above 10 or transatlantic routing, the Praetor 600 is preferable. For missions within G280 range where Gulfstream service availability is a priority, the G280 is competitive.
