Embraer said its Praetor 600E has received type certification from Brazil’s ANAC, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Despite the certification, deliveries are not expected to begin until 2029, leaving a gap of roughly three years before the aircraft enters service. Embraer has not detailed the reason for the timeline, although it may reflect production backlog constraints rather than technical readiness.
The Praetor 600E is an updated version of the existing Praetor 600, with changes centered on the cabin while maintaining the same airframe and performance characteristics.

The jet retains a range of about 4,018 nautical miles (7,441 km), enabling nonstop flights between city pairs such as London–New York and São Paulo–Miami.
The main updates involve a redesigned interior intended to improve comfort and onboard experience on long-haul flights. These include new seating and an updated Cabin Management System (CMS), along with additional digital features integrated into the cabin.
Among them is an optional 42-inch 4K touchscreen display, which can be used to control cabin functions, access entertainment content and display external camera views in real time.
