The Embraer Legacy 450 is one of the most modern midsize jets in the Naples market, a clean-sheet 2015 airframe with fly-by-wire controls and a flat-floor stand-up cabin. For a Naples client who wants a midsize that flies like a Praetor for less money, the 450 is the honest answer.
Embraer certified the Legacy 450 in 2015 as a smaller variant of the Legacy 500. Two Honeywell HTF7500E engines drive the type to 462 knots at up to 45,000 feet, seven to nine passengers, 2,904 nautical miles of range, and 150 cubic feet of baggage. Fly-by-wire, flat floor, six-foot cabin height. Enclosed lavatory.

Why the Embraer Legacy 450 Fits Naples
Range at 2,904 nautical miles handles APF-to-Aspen (ASE) with a full cabin and Denver (APA) with margin. Northeast and Midwest snowbird pairings (TEB, HPN, PWK, BED, YYZ) are all nonstop with a full cabin plus reserves. Nassau and Turks and Caicos are trivial outbound legs.
The flat-floor stand-up cabin with 150 cubic feet of baggage is a genuine super-midsize experience packaged in a midsize hourly rate. For a Naples family stepping down from a Challenger 300 to control costs on shorter trips, the 450 keeps most of the cabin comfort.
APF is comfortable for the 450 on any typical day. The type is not on Naples Jet Charter’s staging fleet catalogue but is available through operators in the wider charter market; availability is thinner than for an Excel/XLS or Hawker 900XP.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
