N455SM

This airframe, tail N455SM, is an Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 built by Embraer S.A. in 2025 with serial number 55010161. The aircraft is owned by FIFTH THIRD BANK NA, a corporation based in Cincinnati, OH, US, and is registered in the US. Factory delivery in 2025 marks its entry into service, and its assessed market value on record is $18,995,000, indicating a near-new condition at the time of valuation. Ownership by a corporate bank suggests use in corporate transport, asset management, or lease-back arrangements.

The aircraft features a 6 ft flat-floor cabin that supports typical 7–9 passenger executive layouts with club seating and divan options, providing flexible interior configurations for corporate missions. Avionics are supplied as the Collins Pro Line Fusion system as a typical factory option, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities for high-altitude, long-range operations. With a 3,340 nm range and a cruise speed of 462 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and long-haul corporate shuttle missions operated from its owner’s base in Cincinnati, OH, combining efficient cruise performance with a business-oriented cabin. The twin Honeywell AS907-3-1E (HTF7500E) engines are a key maintenance focus for operational reliability and lifecycle cost planning.

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 occupies a performance niche defined by long range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, appealing to buyers seeking transcontinental capability in a midsize executive jet. With seating for 11 and a documented value near $19 million, demand from corporate owners and charter operators is influenced by cabin flexibility and avionics fit. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on engine program participation, avionics lifecycle (Collins Pro Line Fusion), and the aircraft’s low-time, near-new status as indicated by its 2025 manufacture and current valuation.
