Marking the introduction of the Embraer Praetor 600 to its North American fleet, private lift provider Flexjet is taking the aircraft on a 12-state, 15-stop meet-the-customer tour that kicked off this week in Texas.

After visits to Austin and San Antonio, the super-midsize jet will travel to Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, and Seattle this week. Miami and Naples, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; Atlanta; Nashville and Knoxville, Tennessee; Pittsburgh; Milwaukee; and St. Paul, Minnesota, round out its agenda next week.

In service in Flexjetā€™s European fleet since 2020, the Praetor 600 is now available for fractional purchase by North American customers. It has a range of more than 4,000 nm and a high-speed cruise of 466 knots. At 45,000 feet, it has a cabin altitude of 5,800 feet and offers accommodations for up to nine, with fully berthable seating in its six-foot-high stand-up cabin.

ā€œOur mid- and super-midsize fleet of aircraft, with Bombardier Challenger 350/3500s and Embraer Praetor 500s, is like no other, and adding the super-midsize Praetor 600 to the fleet is cause for celebration,ā€ said D.J. Hanlon, the Cleveland-based operatorā€™s executive v-p of sales. ā€œWe are looking forward to introducing this extraordinary aircraft to current and future customers.ā€
