Flexjet has announced that its Embraer Praetor 600E has become the company's fleet launch customer for this model after receiving the first delivery of the aircraft. This milestone is part of a larger USD7 billion order placed in February 2025, covering 182 aircraft, with options for an additional 30, mainly Praetor-series jets along with several Phenom 300E aircraft.
Michael Silvestro, CEO of Flexjet, highlighted the success of their ongoing partnership with Embraer Executive Jets which began in 2003. Flexjet was also the launch customer for the Praetor 500 and 600 in 2019. Currently, the company operates more than 110 Praetor jets, exemplifying its commitment to fleet expansion. The Praetor 600E received FAA type certification in April, and its delivery marks a significant step in Flexjet's growth strategy.
The company plans to deliver the Praetor 500E by the end of 2026, further solidifying its position in the business jet market. Flexjet's partnerships and expanding fleet demonstrate its ongoing focus on customer service and fleet diversification in the competitive aviation sector.
