Embraer’s Praetor 500 and 600 jets are certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil.

The Praetor 500 is a fastest-flying mid-size jet and the Praetor 600 is the farthest-flying super-midsize jet, according to Embraer.

Flexjet CEO Michael Silvestro said: “We are proud to introduce the Praetor jets to the fractional marketplace and make technologically advanced midsize and super-midsize aircraft available to Flexjet Owners.

“This order also represents the longstanding trust we have in Embraer and in their enhanced commitment to support the growth of our programmes and of our partnership with industry-leading business jets.”

In July, Embraer delivered its first Praetor 600 super-midsize business jet to an undisclosed customer in Europe.
