- First Praetor 600E customer delivery announced September 18, 2026
- Flexjet is the fleet launch customer
- Smart Window uses a 42-inch 4K OLED screen
- Flexjet expects 12 Praetor 600Es by year-end
- Delivery is tied to a 182-aircraft Embraer order worth up to $7 billion
Flexjet has taken delivery of the first Embraer Praetor 600E, the updated super-midsize jet that adds new cabin technology to an aircraft already known for long legs in its class. The delivery makes Flexjet the fleet launch customer for the model.
The attention-grabbing feature is Embraer’s Smart Window, a 42-inch 4K OLED screen built into the cabin sidewall. Flexjet says it expects 12 Praetor 600Es by the end of 2026. The jet is part of the fractional operator’s larger agreement for 182 Embraer aircraft, a package valued at up to $7 billion and covering Praetor 600E, Praetor 500E and Phenom 300E models.
For passengers, this is about more than a screen. Fractional operators compete on cabin consistency, connectivity and the feeling that a shared fleet still feels current. For Embraer, putting the first 600E into Flexjet service gives the aircraft immediate exposure to heavy business use rather than just brochure flying.
