Model overview
The Embraer Legacy 600 is a large-cabin business jet derived from the ERJ regional platform and can be considered for charter when cabin length, three distinct seating zones and exceptional baggage volume matter more than ultra-long-range reach. Its airliner-derived structure is part of the design lineage, but the individual aircraft's refurbishment, avionics and amenities require direct confirmation.
Production history
Embraer launched the executive program around the turn of the 2000s and used the Legacy 600 to establish its modern business-aviation division. The EMB-135BJ adapted the ERJ-135 platform for an executive interior and longer-range business-aviation missions, later receiving Honeywell Primus Elite updates; the longer-range Legacy 650 continued the broader lineage but is not silently included in this page's performance figures.
Variant note. This profile covers the Legacy 600 rather than importing the later Legacy 650's range or engines. Cabin volume and baggage are labeled as ranges where source documents use different completion and total-versus-accessible measurement boundaries.

Overview and production sources
Heavy / Long Range Jet category-level whole-aircraft planning range; not a live offer or a model-specific quote. Pricing was reviewed August 29, 2026 and the current planning policy is effective through November 30, 2026. Only a current written proposal confirms the aircraft, direct carrier, inclusions, conditional charges and total trip price.
Cabin and baggage
Cabin layout and baggage guidance
The Legacy 600 passenger cabin is approximately 42 feet 4 inches long, 6 feet 11 inches wide and 6 feet high, with commonly published completion figures around 1,413 to 1,430 cubic feet. Embraer specifies thirteen standard and fourteen maximum passenger seats, twenty-two windows, three separate work, dine and rest zones, a wet galley and full-width aft lavatory; its 240-cubic-foot accessible compartment sits within a 286-cubic-foot total baggage reference, while seat berthing, outlets, cabin management, Wi-Fi and appliances vary by tail.
- Seat configuration
- 13 standard executive passengers; up to 14 in the Embraer maximum reference layout
- Cabin volume
- Approximately 1,413–1,430 cu ft depending on completion and measurement convention
- Cabin dimensions
- Approximately 42 ft 4 in long × 6 ft 11 in wide × 6 ft high
- Baggage capacity
- 240 cu ft accessible; 286 cu ft total baggage reference
The large aft compartment is pressurized and accessible in flight; the 240-versus-286 figures distinguish accessible compartment and broader total baggage conventions.

Range and performance
Performance and flight deck guidance
Embraer's brochure publishes 3,250 nautical miles with eight passengers and 3,400 nautical miles with four passengers at long-range cruise and NBAA IFR reserves, plus Mach 0.78 normal cruise, approximately 447 KTAS under ISA tropopause conditions. Twin Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E turbofans, Honeywell Primus-series avionics and a swept low wing define the aircraft; installed aerodynamic equipment requires exact-aircraft confirmation, and the direct carrier calculates actual route, payload, weather, runway and reserve feasibility.
- Range reference
- 3,250 nm with 8 passengers; 3,400 nm with 4 passengers
- Embraer long-range-cruise references with NBAA IFR reserves under stated conditions; actual route capability varies.
- Cruise speed reference
- Approximately 447 KTAS at Mach 0.78 normal cruise
- Mach converted using about 574 knots for the speed of sound at ISA tropopause conditions; Mach 0.80 is the maximum operating limit, not normal cruise.
- Engines and efficiency context
- Two Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E turbofans
- Fuel use depends on the installed engines, thrust, altitude, payload and cruise settings. An engine model alone does not predict trip fuel use.
- Avionics
- Honeywell Primus-series flight deck, including Primus Elite on updated aircraft; exact display, navigation and surveillance standard varies by tail
- Aerodynamic design
- Swept low wing; installed aerodynamic equipment requires exact-aircraft confirmation

Mission fit
Mission planning guidance
The Legacy 600 can fit a team or family that wants three genuinely separated cabin areas and unusually generous luggage space on domestic, transcontinental and selected ocean-crossing trips. Jet Partners can source and compare a named Legacy 600 with other heavy jets after receiving exact bags, seating, catering and connectivity needs, while the licensed carrier confirms aircraft, crew, stop plan, schedule, price, terms and operational control.
