Charter of an Embraer Legacy 650E starts at $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. Embraer introduced the Legacy 650E in 2017 as an Evolution upgrade to the Legacy 650, adding synthetic vision and autothrottle as standard equipment without changing the core specifications. 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 carries forward the Legacy family's 286-cubic-foot baggage hold, the largest in the heavy jet class. Hogani Jets coordinates each Legacy 650E charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

Embraer announced the Legacy 650E at the 2016 NBAA show, with deliveries beginning in 2017. The E designation stands for Evolution, reflecting avionics and interior refinements rather than structural or performance changes.

The 650E adds a synthetic vision system and autothrottle as standard equipment, a restyled three-zone interior with redesigned seats, and a 10-year or 10,000-flight-hour warranty. Embraer stopped sales of the Legacy 650 line in August 2020.

The Legacy 650E entered production in 2017 as the current and final variant of the Legacy 650 line. Embraer announced in August 2020 that it was stopping sales of the Legacy 650 family, citing market overlap with the newer Citation Longitude and Praetor 600.

The Embraer Legacy 650E is a heavy twin-engine jet derived from the Embraer ERJ-135 regional jet platform. The E designation marks an avionics and interior upgrade of the Legacy 650. 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, unchanged from the Legacy 650.

The Legacy 650E did not change the airframe, engines, range, or cabin footprint of the Legacy 650. Embraer's Evolution upgrade focused on three specific improvements.

First, the synthetic vision system became standard equipment. SVS displays a three-dimensional terrain, obstacle, and runway environment on the primary flight displays, improving crew situational awareness in all visibility conditions.

Second, autothrottle was added as standard, reducing pilot workload during climb and cruise and allowing more precise speed management on longer sectors.

Third, the three-zone cabin received a complete interior restyle with redesigned seats, updated cabin management systems, and Embraer's new interior aesthetic, while retaining the same 286-cubic-foot baggage hold and overall layout.

The Legacy 650E also came with a 10-year or 10,000-flight-hour warranty as standard, a notable operational commitment for a heavy jet in this class.

The Legacy 650E was the last variant Embraer delivered in the Legacy 600 line, a platform that ran from 2002 to 2020 and produced 289 Legacy 600s alongside roughly 100 Legacy 650s and the subsequent 650E production.

Embraer announced at the 2016 NBAA show that the 650E would be the new standard from 2017 onward, replacing the original Legacy 650 on the production line. Deliveries of the 650E began that year.

In August 2020, Embraer announced it was stopping sales of the entire Legacy 650 line, citing market overlap with the newer Citation Longitude and Praetor 600. Pre-owned Legacy 650Es typically trade between roughly $14 million and $20 million depending on year and condition.

The Legacy family's airliner heritage from the ERJ-135 platform gave it a parts support and maintenance infrastructure shared with a large commercial airline fleet, a lasting practical advantage for operators even after production ended.

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.
  • Best mission: large groups needing transatlantic range, maximum baggage capacity, and the latest standard avionics in the Legacy family.

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

  • A forward zone with restyled 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; four single beds and one double bed in overnight configuration.
  • Cabin height is 6.0 feet, with the center aisle lowered 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 in-flight access to the baggage compartment.
  • 286 cubic feet of in-flight accessible baggage space, the largest of any jet in the heavy class.

The Embraer Legacy 650E 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 with restyled seats support work, dining, and rest. 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 650E carries the same airframe, engines, and range as the Legacy 650 with updated avionics and a restyled interior. The Legacy 650 offers a lower cost of entry with the same performance. The Legacy 600 carries less range but the same three-zone cabin footprint.

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.
