Melbourne, Florida, August 28, 2025 – Embraer (NYSE: ERJ; B3: EMBR3) today 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. “This milestone cements Embraer’s position as a global leader in business aviation and serves as a testament to the popularity of our Praetor family of jets, especially among major corporate flight departments. Both the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 have become aircraft of choice for their disruptive technology and unmatched performance, demonstrating the confidence these corporations place in Embraer.”
In addition to highlighting company growth, the delivery underscores the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600’s rising appeal among corporate flight departments, which value the family’s distinct combination of capabilities. The aircraft offer technology typically found in larger jets, such as full fly-by-wire with active turbulence reduction, while delivering short runway performance comparable to smaller aircraft. Complemented by best-in-class range, both aircraft provide passengers with access to more destinations around the world, without compromise.
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.

About the Praetor Family
The Praetor 500 and the Praetor 600 are the most technologically advanced and farthest-flying aircraft in their categories. The Praetor 500 surpassed certification goals, achieving an intercontinental range of 3,340 nautical miles (6,186 km) with four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves. The Praetor 500 is the farthest- and fastest-flying midsize jet, capable of true North America corner-to-corner, nonstop flights, such as Miami to Seattle, or Los Angeles to New York. Its sibling, the Praetor 600, is the farthest-flying super-midsize jet in the world, capable of nonstop flights from London to New York, or São Paulo to Miami. With four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves, the Praetor 600 has intercontinental range of 4,018 nautical miles (7,441 km).
The Embraer DNA Design interior eloquently explores every dimension of the cabins of the Praetor jets, including a six-foot-tall, flat-floor cabin, with stone flooring in the wet galley, and a vacuum service lavatory. The class-exclusive turbulence reduction capability and 5,800-foot cabin altitude, complemented by a whisper-silent cabin, have set the highest standards in customer experience in both the midsize and super-midsize categories. The largest baggage compartment in the class is complemented by a generous wardrobe and a full vanity in the rear private lavatory.
Advanced technology throughout the cabin is also a trait of the Embraer DNA Design, beginning with the industry-exclusive Upper Tech Panel that displays flight information and offers cabin management features. High-capacity, ultra-high-speed connectivity for all aboard is available with typical speeds 20Mbps and video streaming capability, another industry-exclusive in midsize jets.
