Cleveland, Sept. 18, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Flexjet, the global leader in luxury private aviation, has taken delivery of the first Praetor 600E from Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ), marking a significant milestone in the company's history. This aircraft, the world's first certified jet equipped with a fully operational Smart Window™, offers Flexjet's aircraft owners a transformative cabin experience.

"As the leader in luxury private aviation, fractional aircraft owners look to Flexjet to provide access to the world's most advanced aircraft. Embraer's unwavering commitment to innovation, exemplified by the Praetor 600E, continues to deliver the breakthroughs that enable us not only to meet those expectations, but exceed them."

The innovative Smart Window™, supported by Starlink Wi-Fi on all Flexjet Praetor 600Es, incorporates a 42-inch 4K OLED touchscreen monitor that reimagines a portion of the aircraft's interior sidewall as a multifunctional digital experience. Precisely curved to match the arc of the sidewall, it can serve as a virtual window, displaying one of three high-definition, real-time views of the outside environment.

For interactive meetings and video calls, the divan and two adjacent seats are neatly arranged around the Smart Window™, creating a collaborative boardroom-like experience. By cleanly integrating the display within the sidewall, the area remains completely open and clear, uncluttered by a credenza or television cabinet.

When the occasion calls for entertainment, the cabin can be transformed by reclining the seats and dimming the lights. Guests can gather around the screen for a stunningly immersive gaming or cinematic experience with balanced, studio-grade audio. For late night flights, occupants of the lie-flat seats can find restful sleep while enjoying a panoramic, real-time view of the stars and night sky beyond.

Flexjet has been a trusted strategic partner for more than two decades, and together with Embraer, they share a commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience through continuous innovation.

As the fleet launch customer of the Praetor 600E super-midsize and Praetor 500E midsize private jets, Flexjet aircraft owners will enjoy exclusive access to these groundbreaking aircraft. With the first Praetor 600E now delivered, Embraer and Flexjet expect Praetor 500E deliveries to begin later this year, and Flexjet is already taking delivery of Phenom 300E light jets. These deliveries are part of the landmark $7 billion agreement announced by Flexjet and Embraer in February 2025, which includes a firm order for 182 aircraft, options for an additional 30 and an expanded services and support package.

Flexjet, which entered the fractional jet ownership market in 1995, has a history of being the fleet launch customer for five mainstay Embraer products. The company has helped usher in key milestones with Embraer via the 100th Phenom 300 delivery in 2012 and the 1,000th Embraer business jet ever delivered, a Legacy 500, in 2016. These aircraft each have broken barriers in their respective classes, with the Phenom 300 seeing its 14th consecutive year as the most delivered light business jet in the world.

"Flexjet's aircraft owner demographic has been trending younger, and they want the cabin to become part of the experience. The Smart Window™ will be integral in enhancing the enjoyment of the in-cabin journey," added Silvestro.

The global fleet includes the Embraer Phenom 300/300E, Praetor 500/500E, 600/600E, Bombardier Challenger 350/3500, and the Gulfstream G450, G500, G650, and G700. Flexjet's helicopter division, which serves the northeastern United States, Florida, and the United Kingdom, offers leases, helicopter cards, and interchange access for its aircraft owners.
