Embraer Legacy 600 – 650

Introduction & Fun Facts

The Embraer Legacy 600 and 650 are based on Embraer’s ERJ regional jet platform, reimagined for the world of private aviation. The Legacy 600, introduced in 2002, quickly gained popularity for offering a true large-cabin experience at a competitive cost. The upgraded Legacy 650 followed in 2010, extending range and payload capability to suit longer missions.

Fun fact: With a cabin length of nearly 13 meters, the Legacy 600/650 offers one of the most spacious interiors in its class, divided into three distinct zones. This makes it a favorite for both corporate groups and VIP families traveling long-haul.
