Midsize jet
A midsize jet with a six-foot flat-floor cabin and a low cabin altitude, the basis for the later Praetor 500.
The range and runway figures shown are typical manufacturer values. Fully loaded with passengers and luggage, real-world range is shorter, so Aaliya Jets advises on the right aircraft for your exact route.
Gallery images are representative of this aircraft type and are intended to give an impression of the cabin and exterior. The actual aircraft may differ slightly from the one shown. Photographs of the actual aircraft assigned to your charter are provided on request.
The Embraer Legacy 450 is a midsize jet that entered service in 2015, notable for bringing full fly-by-wire flight controls and a flat-floor stand-up cabin to its class. It offered long range and a smooth ride, and later formed the basis of the Praetor 500. It remains a comfortable, capable midsize aircraft.
The Legacy 450 first flew in December 2013 and was certified in 2015, sharing the fuselage cross-section of the super-midsize Legacy 500 in a shorter airframe. It is classed as a midsize jet, and the improved, longer-range Praetor 500 introduced in 2018 is its direct successor, with existing 450s eligible for upgrade.
Two Honeywell HTF7500E engines are matched to a Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck with four 15.1-inch displays. It was among the first midsize jets to feature a full fly-by-wire flight control system with envelope protection, and its flat floor cabin stands about 6 feet tall with an enclosed rear lavatory and a cabin altitude of 6,000 feet, reduced to 5,800 feet on aircraft delivered from 2018.

What trips suit it best? Journeys of up to around four hours with a full cabin.
How much does it cost to charter per hour? As a guide, around USD 4,500 to 6,500 per hour, depending on the route, dates and operator. Aaliya Jets always quotes the real operator price, with no hidden markup.
Is there an enclosed toilet? Yes, a fully enclosed lavatory at the rear of the cabin.
Can you stand up in the cabin? Yes, the flat floor cabin stands around 6 feet tall, which is generous for a midsize jet.

Can luggage be reached during the flight? Partly. A portion of the baggage space at the rear is pressurised, heated and accessible from the cabin in flight, with the main compartment accessed externally.
What makes it distinctive? It was among the first midsize jets to offer full fly-by-wire flight controls with envelope protection, technology usually reserved for larger aircraft.
