Embraer Executive Jets’ milestone 2,000th delivery was a midsize Praetor 500.

Embraer Executive Jets has reached a milestone with the delivery of its 2,000th business jet. The celebrated aircraft, a midsize Praetor 500, was handed over to an undisclosed corporate flight department from the company’s global customer center in Melbourne, Florida.

The OEM delivered its first executive jet—later branded as the large-cabin Legacy 600, a derivative of the Embraer ERJ-135 regional jet—in 2002, and then expanded its line with the addition of the upgraded Legacy 650, bizliner-class Lineage 1000, clean-sheet Phenom 100 and 300 light jets, and clean-sheet, fly-by-wire Legacy 450 and 500 midsize and super-midsize jets. In 2018, it refreshed these latter offerings with the derivative Praetor 500 and 600.
