Flexjet has become the fleet launch customer for the Praetor 600E after taking delivery of the first unit of the type. The delivery forms part of a broader $7 billion (€5.98 billion) order placed in February 2025 for 182 aircraft with an option for 30 more primarily comprising Praetor series aircraft along with several Phenom 300E jets. Flexjet is also set to become the fleet launch customer for the Praetor 500E with delivery of the first unit expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
In 2019 Flexjet was also the fleet launch customer for the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600. The wider Flexjet group currently operates more than 110 Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 jets. Unveiled in February alongside the Praetor 500E the Praetor 600E received United States Federal Aviation Administration type certification in April.
On 18 September 2026 Flexjet Ireland officially transferred its sole aircraft to Flexjet Operations Malta. The single aircraft operated under Flexjet’s Irish Air Operator Certificate was an Embraer Praetor 600.
The Irish subsidiary had secured its AOC in late 2025 and recently applied for a US foreign air carrier permit to operate transatlantic charter flights.
