Midlands to Oxfordshire

Birmingham to London Oxford and back is the busiest pairing on the page, with Birmingham to Guernsey the Channel Islands variation. Eighteen departure countries in all, but the English pattern dominates, from a small number of operators.

Slow in every sense

Published with several weeks in hand and then listed for longer than any other type here, the Legacy 500 is the aircraft for the planner. Very few legs carry a price, and very few vanish within a day. Enquire early; there is time.

Flat floor, six foot ceiling, and the widest cabin in the midsize class when it arrived.

The 500 gave the midsize class a flat floor, a six foot cabin and the flight controls of an airliner in 2014, and became the Praetor 600 with more range in 2019. Nine seats is the usual fit. Specification: Legacy 500 range and cabin.

Embraer Legacy 500 (EMB-550): specification and background

The Legacy 500 of 2014 was the first midsize business jet with full fly by wire flight controls, a technology until then found only on airliners and the largest business jets. A flat floor, a six foot cabin and Honeywell HTF7500E engines came with it. Embraer rebranded the type as the Praetor 600 in 2019 after adding range, and the Legacy 450 was the shorter version of the same aircraft.
