Charter of an Embraer Legacy 650 starts at $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. Embraer built the Legacy 650 from 2010 to 2017, delivering approximately 100 aircraft before introducing the Legacy 650E. It seats up to 16 passengers across a 3,900-nautical-mile range at 459 knots. Twin Rolls-Royce AE3007A2 engines produce 9,020 lbf each. The three-zone cabin and 286-cubic-foot baggage hold carry over from the Legacy 600, with the 650 adding 500 nm of range, more powerful engines, and a lowered center aisle for increased headroom. Hogani Jets coordinates each Legacy 650 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

Embraer announced the Legacy 650 at the 2009 NBAA show in Orlando as a longer-range development of the Legacy 600. The program delivered its first aircraft in late 2010 and received FAA certification in February 2011.

The additional range comes from more fuel capacity, new Rolls-Royce AE3007A2 engines with higher thrust, and a higher maximum takeoff weight of 53,572 lbs. Embraer also lowered the center aisle to provide more standing headroom throughout the three-zone cabin.

Production of the Legacy 650 ran from 2010 to 2017, with nearly 100 aircraft delivered before Embraer introduced the Legacy 650E. The 650E added synthetic vision, autothrottle, a restyled interior, and a 10-year/10,000-hour warranty as standard without changing the core specifications.

The Embraer Legacy 650 is a heavy twin-engine jet derived from the Embraer ERJ-135 regional jet platform. Produced from 2010 to 2017, it carries up to 16 passengers across a 3,900-nautical-mile range at 459 knots. Two Rolls-Royce AE3007A2 engines produce 9,020 lbf each. Cabin length is 49.9 feet across three fully partitioned zones.

The Legacy 600 was already the baggage leader in the heavy jet class. Embraer's goal with the 650 was transatlantic range on the same platform, with targeted interior improvements.

First, Embraer fitted new Rolls-Royce AE3007A2 engines producing 9,020 lbf each, replacing the Legacy 600's AE3007A1E engines at 7,953 lbf. The additional thrust, combined with higher fuel capacity, enabled the 500-nm range increase.

Second, the maximum takeoff weight rose from 49,604 lbs to 53,572 lbs, and auxiliary fuel tanks were added alongside the existing tanks to carry the extra fuel without reducing payload.

Third, Embraer lowered the center aisle relative to the Legacy 600, providing more standing headroom throughout all three cabin zones, and added improved soundproofing, VoIP connectivity, and faster internet as standard.

The result is an aircraft that carries 13 passengers 3,900 nm nonstop, enabling routes such as New York to London or London to Dubai without a fuel stop.

The Legacy 650 opened routes that the Legacy 600 could not reliably serve nonstop, while keeping the platform's defining advantage of three fully partitioned cabin zones and 286 cubic feet of baggage.

Embraer delivered nearly 100 Legacy 650s between 2010 and 2017. The type received certification from Brazil's ANAC and EASA in October 2010, followed by the FAA in February 2011. ANAC also certified the 650 for high-altitude landing and takeoff operations in August 2012.

Pre-owned Legacy 650s today typically trade between roughly $9 million and $19 million depending on year and condition. Embraer introduced the upgraded Legacy 650E in 2017, adding synthetic vision and autothrottle as standard without changing the core specifications.

The Legacy 650's airliner-derived platform gives it a parts and maintenance support infrastructure shared with the ERJ regional jet family, a practical advantage for operators managing long-term operating costs.

A heavy jet trades a higher hourly rate for meaningfully more cabin room, passenger capacity, and baggage space.

  • Three separated zones: forward, mid, and aft sections with full partitions versus the open or two-zone layout of most super midsize jets.
  • More baggage: 286 cubic feet, the largest in the heavy class, versus 115 to 135 cubic feet for most super midsize jets.
  • More passengers: up to 16 versus 9 to 10 for most super midsize aircraft.
  • Transatlantic range: 3,900 nm covers New York to London and London to Dubai nonstop, outside the reach of most super midsize jets.
  • Best mission: large groups needing transatlantic range, maximum baggage capacity, and three separated cabin zones.

The Legacy 650 seats up to 16 passengers. Standard charter configurations seat 13 across three fully partitioned zones.

  • A forward zone with club seating for conversation and productivity.
  • A mid-cabin zone with a conference table or dining area for meetings and meals.
  • An aft zone with a divan that converts to sleeping positions; the cabin accommodates four single beds and one double bed in overnight configuration.
  • Cabin height is 6.0 feet, with the center aisle lowered from the Legacy 600 configuration for additional standing headroom throughout all three zones.
  • 22 windows provide natural light throughout; the full galley supports hot and cold meal service, and the aft lavatory includes access to the baggage compartment during flight.
  • 286 cubic feet of in-flight accessible baggage space, the largest of any jet in the heavy class.

The Embraer Legacy 650 cabin is 49.9 feet in total interior length, 6.9 feet wide, and 6.0 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 5,800-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. Three fully partitioned zones support work, dining, and rest in complete separation. The aircraft seats up to 16 passengers with 286 cubic feet of baggage capacity, the largest in the heavy jet class.

Within the Legacy family, the 650 adds 500 nm of range over the Legacy 600 on the same cabin footprint, with more powerful engines and a lowered center aisle. The Legacy 650E adds synthetic vision, autothrottle, and a restyled interior without changing the core specifications.

The 3,900-nautical-mile range covers transatlantic routes. New York to London (approximately 3,000 nm) and London to Dubai (approximately 2,973 nm) are both within nonstop range.
