Why the Embraer Legacy 600 Fits Nashville
With 3,400 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Nashville to destinations such as Miami, Jackson Hole and St. Maarten, allowing for reserves and routing. Spring and early summer bring thunderstorms to Middle Tennessee, and a strong line of storms can hold departures until it passes.
Nashville trips in an aircraft this size usually start at Nashville International (BNA), which is staffed around the clock and is the only airport in the Nashville area with customs. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is a calculation the operator makes for that weight and that day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How Nashville Clients Use the Embraer Legacy 600
This category suits a Nashville group that needs both distance and space, such as a touring party or a corporate team for whom the flight is part of the working day.
