Introduction & Fun Facts

Launched in 2013 and delivered to its first customers in 2015, the Embraer Legacy 450 quickly positioned itself as one of the most advanced midsize business jets in the market. It features full fly-by-wire technology, which enhances flight smoothness and efficiency, and a flat-floor cabin with stand-up height that rivals larger super-midsize jets.

In 2018, Embraer rebranded the Legacy 450 as part of its Praetor family (Praetor 500 being the upgraded version), but many Legacy 450 aircraft remain active in charter fleets worldwide thanks to their comfort, performance, and reliability.
