Luxaviation UK is welcoming a third Embraer Praetor 600 into its fleet. The aircraft will be available for charter from February 28 and will be based in Luton. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles (4,600 miles), the Praetor 600 travels at speeds of 863 km/h and can fly from a runway as short as 3,000 feet, facilitating non-stop flights on popular routes, such as London-Ibiza over the summer break or London-Dubai in the autumn/winter months. 

The aircraft has capacity for up to nine passengers and three crew members, featuring high-end seating that converts into four lie-flat beds, along with a three-seat divan in the rear. Onboard amenities include high-speed free Wi-Fi, Apple TV, and a full entertainment suite.  

From a performance and safety perspective, the aircraft is certified for steep approaches, fitted with enhanced vision systems for low-visibility operations, and features advanced weather detection tools to minimise turbulence and ensure smoother flights. 

George Galanopoulos, CEO, Luxaviation UK commented: “With this third Praetor 600 in our fleet, we are now the largest operator of that type in the UK. This aircraft is a key example of our offering to clients, as it blends efficient travel with premium charter services across Europe and further afield. The Praetor 600 suits clients looking for a more modern flight experience, with advanced technology, sleek design, high-speed Wi-Fi, and the versatility to support business and leisure travel.” 

Patrick Hansen, CEO, Luxaviation Group stated: "Welcoming the third Praetor 600 in our UK fleet reinforces Luxaviation’s reputation as a trusted manager of the latest-generation business jets. Without compromising our standards, we offer our clients the most advanced fleets and service excellence Luxaviation is known for."

With Luxaviation UK celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the introduction of the third Praetor 600 enhances the offering to clients and highlights the company’s continued growth.
