MELBOURNE, Fla. – Embraer’s Praetor 500E business jet is ready for global operations following its triple certification from aviation regulators in Brazil, the United States and the European Union, the company said Tuesday.

The aircraft’s approval follows the Praetor 600E’s certification earlier this year.

The Brazilian manufacturer said the certifications mark an important step for its next generation of midsize and super-midsize business jets.

“Achieving triple certification ahead of schedule and on spec is a strong testament to our engineering excellence, enterprise efficiency, and disciplined execution,” said Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “With this impressive milestone, we are well positioned to produce this aircraft for customers worldwide.”

With a range of 3,340 nautical miles (about 6,200 kilometers), the Praetor 500E is capable of nonstop flights between city pairs such as Miami-Seattle and Los Angeles-New York with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves.

Complementing its performance is a higher payload capability and a thoroughly redesigned cabin, the company said. The aircraft’s maximum passenger capacity is nine.

Other features of the aircraft include Embraer’s avionics suite and the Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System.

“Together, these systems reduce pilot workload, enhance situational awareness, and support smoother flights while expanding operational flexibility to a broader range of destinations,” Embraer said.

The company expects deliveries of both the Praetor 500E and Praetor 600E to begin in 2029.
