The Legacy 600 / 650 is a Puerto Rico heavy jet with a three-zone cabin from San Juan (SJU), seating 13 to 14 with up to 3,400 nautical miles of range. It links SJU to the full US mainland or much of South America nonstop with airliner-derived cabin space. A roomy heavy jet from Embraer.
Embraer built the Legacy 600 and later 650 on the ERJ-135 regional-jet airframe from 2002, cruising near Mach 0.78 (about 448 knots) at up to 41,000 feet. Three cabin zones give it more living space than most heavy jets.
