The Praetor 500 is a current-production super-midsize charter candidate for smaller parties seeking a six-foot flat floor, coast-to-coast planning range and full fly-by-wire control. It evolves the Legacy 450 platform, but a model request still requires confirmation of the exact tail, operator, cabin options and mission feasibility.

Why the Praetor 500 remains a charter consideration

Embraer unveiled the Praetor 500 and 600 in 2018 and certified both within the following year. The 500 adds fuel capacity and higher-thrust engine ratings to the Legacy 450 architecture; Embraer then announced the Praetor 500E in 2026 for deliveries planned from 2029, making future E-model cabin features a separate specification.

Variant note. Praetor 500E cabin and technology features announced in 2026 are planned for future deliveries and must not be applied to current Praetor 500 tails. Starlink availability is an install- and subscription-specific option.

Overview and production sources: Embraer — Embraer celebrates fifth anniversary of Praetor 500 and Praetor 600; Embraer — Embraer unveils next-generation Praetor 500E and Praetor 600E.

Super Midsize Jet category-level whole-aircraft planning range; not a live offer or a model-specific quote.

Inside the Praetor 500

The standard configuration seats seven passengers and approved layouts reach nine, using berthable executive chairs, a flat aisle, tables, a forward galley or refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory. The approximately 720-cubic-foot cabin is 22 feet 5 inches long, 6 feet 10 inches wide and 6 feet high, with 150 cubic feet of total baggage capacity, including about 40 cubic feet internal. Large windows and ergonomic seating support work or rest, while Wi-Fi, power, entertainment and galley equipment vary by tail.

Praetor 500 range, cruise speed and flight deck

Embraer publishes 3,340 nautical miles with four passengers at long-range cruise and NBAA IFR reserves including a 200-nautical-mile alternate, plus 466 KTAS high-speed cruise. Twin Honeywell HTF7500E turbofans, Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, full fly-by-wire controls, active turbulence reduction and swept winglets support the mission. The direct carrier must calculate runway, payload, winds, routing and reserves for the actual departure.

Is the Praetor 500 right for your charter?

A Praetor 500 can be a strong fit for seven travelers on a long domestic trip where stand-up height, flat-floor ergonomics and meaningful baggage capacity matter. Jet Partners can compare the actual aircraft with Legacy 450 and peer options, disclose the licensed direct carrier, and confirm configuration, connectivity, schedule, firm price and terms.

Jet Partners compares trip-specific proposals as an air charter broker.

Confirm these details in writing

  • Aircraft, cabin layout, passenger count and baggage fit.
  • Named direct air carrier and available trip-specific safety information.
  • Runway, payload, weather, routing and possible technical-stop limits.
  • Total price, inclusions, conditional charges and cancellation terms.

The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the proposal retains operational control and makes the final flight-operational decisions.

Questions about chartering the Praetor 500

How many passengers can the Praetor 500 carry?
7 passengers standard; 9 passengers maximum. That is a model-level reference, not a promise for every tail. The approved seat map, required crew, payload, baggage and mission conditions determine the passenger count that the direct carrier can accept.
What is the charter range of the Praetor 500?
Up to 3,340 nm is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. Four-passenger long-range-cruise mission with NBAA IFR reserves and a 200-nm alternate; actual conditions and payload affect range. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What should I verify when comparing Praetor 500 variants?
Praetor 500E cabin and technology features announced in 2026 are planned for future deliveries and must not be applied to current Praetor 500 tails. Starlink availability is an install- and subscription-specific option. The written proposal should identify the exact variant, tail, seating, equipment and direct carrier rather than treating the directory name as proof of a particular configuration.
How much does it cost to charter the Praetor 500?
The reviewed category planning range is $9,500–$13,000 per billable hour. It is not a Praetor 500-specific offer; positioning, billable time, minimums, airports, taxes, fees, crew requirements and the actual aircraft determine the written trip price.
What cabin amenities are available on the Praetor 500?
The standard configuration seats seven passengers and approved layouts reach nine, using berthable executive chairs, a flat aisle, tables, a forward galley or refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory. The approximately 720-cubic-foot cabin is 22 feet 5 inches long, 6 feet 10 inches wide and 6 feet high, with 150 cubic feet of total baggage capacity, including about 40 cubic feet internal. Large windows and ergonomic seating support work or rest, while Wi-Fi, power, entertainment and galley equipment vary by tail. Those are model-level and reviewed-aircraft references; every required seat, lavatory, power, connectivity, entertainment, catering and baggage feature must be confirmed on the proposed tail.
Who operates a flight on the Praetor 500 arranged through Jet Partners?
Jet Partners acts as an air charter broker and does not operate the aircraft. The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the written proposal provides the flight, retains operational control and makes final safety and operational decisions.
