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 under standard operating conditions at NBAA IFR reserves, a routing that previously required a large-cabin jet or a fuel stop. With 4,018 nm range, full fly-by-wire controls with Active Turbulence Reduction, and a flat-floor stand-up cabin of 8.38 m derived from the Legacy 500, it sits at the upper end 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 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?

• 4,018 nm range: London to New York non-stop without stepping up to a large-cabin jet. At 4,018 nm the Praetor 600 exceeds all competing super-midsize jets on range, including the Gulfstream G280 (3,600 nm) and Challenger 350 (3,200 nm). 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. No other super-midsize currently in production covers London to New York non-stop under standard NBAA IFR reserve conditions;
• Full fly-by-wire with Active Turbulence Reduction as standard. The Praetor 600 shares the Praetor 500's full fly-by-wire flight control system. Active Turbulence Reduction 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 provides a cabin comfort level more typically associated with large-cabin jets, though individual experience will vary by routing and conditions;
• All seats convert to fully flat beds. Every seat converts to a sleeping bed. Combined with the three-seat divan at the rear, this provides up to four or five simultaneous sleeping positions on overnight transatlantic and Gulf sectors. The 5,800 ft cabin altitude at maximum operating altitude is on par with large-cabin jets at significantly higher charter rates, which Embraer says reduces passenger fatigue on long sectors;
• 8.38 m flat-floor cabin with seven windows per side. The cabin measures 8.38 m 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 8.38 m is above the typical super-midsize standard and approaches the lower end of the large-cabin specification;
• Collins Pro Line Fusion with HUD, EVS and ROAAS. The flight deck features four 15.1-inch Collins Pro Line Fusion LCD displays, a Head-Up Display for low-visibility approach operations, 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 record since 2019, with the Praetor 600E upgrade path confirmed for 2029. The Praetor 600 has recorded no hull-loss accidents since entering service in 2019. For clients who weight safety history in aircraft selection, this is worth noting, though five years of commercial operation is a relatively short track record. The Praetor 600E, announced February 2026, confirms Embraer's continued investment in the platform.

Ideal routes for the Embraer Praetor 600

The Praetor 600 is best suited to transatlantic and intercontinental missions where 4,018 nm 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 sector that defines the aircraft. London to New York non-stop for 9 passengers is what the Praetor 600 is primarily chartered for. No competing super-midsize jet does this non-stop under standard operating conditions. Flat-bed seats mean all passengers can sleep on the overnight crossing. Active Turbulence Reduction is relevant 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, the flat-bed seats and Active Turbulence Reduction cover overnight mission capability on the 6-hour-plus sectors at super-midsize rates;
• 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 range to achieve without a fuel stop. For corporate groups making Mumbai non-stop at super-midsize rates, this is a practical differentiator from competing types in the category;
• UK to Africa non-stop (6 to 8 hours). Lagos, Nairobi, Accra and Dakar are all within comfortable non-stop range. Active Turbulence Reduction is relevant on West Africa and Indian Ocean routing where convective weather at cruise altitude is common;
• Groups of 10 to 12 at super-midsize rates. The Praetor 600 accommodates up to 12 in maximum configuration, more than most competing super-midsize jets. 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, it is worth costing as a single-aircraft option.

Cabin and in-flight experience

The 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 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 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 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 EVS are standard. Active Turbulence Reduction on the fly-by-wire system automatically smooths turbulence inputs before they reach the cabin, which Embraer says is a first in the super-midsize category.

• Cabin. 8.38 m x 2.08 m x 1.83 m; flat floor; seven windows per side;
• Sleep. All seats convert to fully flat beds; three-seat divan;
• Lavatory. Fully enclosed; solid door (large-cabin standard);
• Cabin altitude. 5,800 ft at maximum operating altitude;
• Baggage. 155 ft³ total;

Technical specifications

Embraer Praetor 600 vs similar aircraft

• Embraer Praetor 600 vs Embraer Praetor 500. The Praetor 500 is the smaller midsize sibling 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 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 to New York non-stop or groups above 9, the Praetor 600 is the necessary choice. For Gulf missions with groups of up to 9, the Praetor 500 provides the same core 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 as standard. The Praetor 600 adds 818 nm more range, which is the margin that makes London to New York non-stop possible, plus fly-by-wire, flat-bed seats and the Collins HUD/EVS specification. For transatlantic routing or when flat-bed sleep is required, the Praetor 600 has a clear advantage. For missions within 3,200 nm where operator network and the wider Challenger cabin are priorities, the 350 is competitive;
• Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280. The G280 has 3,600 nm of range (vs 4,018 nm), 10 passengers and Gulfstream's service network. Charter rates are broadly comparable. The Praetor 600 counters with 418 nm additional range, 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 covers more of the brief. For missions within G280 range where Gulfstream service availability matters, the G280 is a reasonable alternative.

Frequently asked questions - Embraer Praetor 600 charter

How much does it cost to charter an Embraer Praetor 600?
Charter rates run from approximately £4,200 to £5,200 per flight hour. London to New York non-stop costs from £46,000 for 9 passengers. London to Dubai costs from £36,000. London to Geneva costs from £10,500. All quotes from Private Jets UK are fully itemised with no hidden charges.

Is the Embraer Praetor 600 the only super-midsize that flies London to New York non-stop?
Yes, as of the current super-midsize category. At 4,018 nm it is the only super-midsize business jet with the range to fly London to New York non-stop at NBAA IFR reserves under standard operating conditions. This is enabled by two under-fuselage belly tanks adding 2,928 lb of fuel over the Legacy 500 and more powerful 7,528 lbf HTF7500E engines. All competing super-midsize jets require a fuel stop on this routing.

Do all seats convert to beds on the Embraer Praetor 600?
Yes. All seats convert to fully flat beds. The rear three-seat divan provides an additional rest surface. On overnight transatlantic and Gulf sectors, the full cabin sleep configuration means all passengers can rest simultaneously. The 5,800 ft cabin altitude reduces fatigue further, per Embraer's specification.

What is the difference between the Praetor 600 and the Legacy 500?
The Praetor 600 is the successor to the Legacy 500 with 878 nm additional range (4,018 nm vs 3,125 nm), achieved through two under-fuselage belly tanks adding 2,928 lb of fuel and more powerful 7,528 lbf engines. The Praetor 600 also adds Ka-band Wi-Fi, improved winglets and the Honeywell Ovation Select cabin management system. The cabin dimensions and flat-floor layout are shared with the Legacy 500.

How many passengers can fly on an Embraer Praetor 600?
Up to 12; optimal 9 in standard charter configuration. The 8.38 m flat-floor cabin seats 9 in the forward club plus rear divan layout. For a delegation of 10 to 12 on transatlantic missions, the Praetor 600 handles the full group at super-midsize rates without requiring a large-cabin jet.
