As the only fractional provider offering both the Praetor 500 and 600 options in its fleet, Flexjet's mid- and super-mid aircraft fleet is far more capable and comfortable than competing fleets offered within the fractional market including the Citation Latitude and Longitude.

"When we added this super-midsize jet to our ultra-modern fleet, we knew we were providing our aircraft Owners with a unique opportunity to level up their travel experience in this category," said D.J. Hanlon, Flexjet Executive Vice President of Sales.

Anti-turbulence technology, fly-by-wire controls and spacious baggage capacity ensure reliable and comfortable performance. The aircraft's LXi Cabin Collection^™ interiors, noise suppression, roomy cabin, superior wet galley and advanced entertainment and Wi-Fi systems make for an indulgent passenger experience.

The aircraft's cruising altitude of 45,000 feet allows it to fly above commercial traffic, providing passengers with a seamless travel experience. The Praetor 600's speed tops at 466 knots and has a maximum operating range of 4,018 nautical miles (NM). In addition to its seating capacity of up to 9 passengers, the Praetor 600 offers an expansive 155 cubic-foot luggage compartment, which is accessible during flight, can hold up to 16 pieces of luggage.

By year's end Flexjet will have grown its mid- and super-mid fleet to 177 aircraft, bringing the total fleet size to more than 300. The 2024 deliveries in this category include the Praetor 500 and 600 and the Bombardier Challenger 350 and 3500.

About The Embraer Praetor 600
The Flexjet Embraer Praetor 600 seats up to nine passengers and offers class-leading capabilities that make it ideal for both business and leisure use. It joins the Praetor 500, already a staple in the Flexjet fleet, and is available for fractional purchase. With a range of 7,441 kilometers/4,018 nautical miles and a high-speed cruise of 466 knots/536 MPH, the Praetor 600 is the world's farthest-flying jet in its class. In the cockpit, the Praetor 600 includes full fly-by-wire technology, which powers the Active Turbulence Reduction feature that not only makes every flight the smoothest but also the most efficient possible. One of the distinctive features of the Praetor 600 is enlarged winglets, roughly six feet high, which contribute to the aircraft's fuel efficiency. Beyond possessing technology resulting in the industry's quietest super midsized cabin, the Praetor 600 also has a cabin altitude of just 5,800 feet while cruising at 45,000 feet. This pressure level, combined with higher (comfortable) humidity levels, means travelers will feel less fatigued and more active during the flight and better refreshed on arrival.
