About Embraer Executive Jets
Embraer, headquartered in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, is the world's third-largest aircraft manufacturer and a major force in business aviation. Building on decades of experience producing regional airliners and military aircraft, Embraer entered the business jet market in 2002 with the Legacy 600 and has since delivered over 1,500 executive aircraft.
Embraer's business jet portfolio is distinguished by innovative fly-by-wire technology (a first in the light and midsize segments), cabin designs by BMW Designworks, and industry-leading performance metrics. The Phenom 300 series has been the best-selling light jet for over a decade, while the Praetor 600 offers best-in-class range among super-midsize jets.
