Miami-based entrepreneur Ibrahim Al‑Rashid, alongside his wife Ryann, recently took delivery of a brand-new Embraer Praetor 600, customised with bold and luxurious finishes tailored to their distinctive style and philanthropic endeavours.
The fuselage’s simple white, blue, and gold colour scheme matches an interior with similar colours.
The Praetor 600 was the first private jet for the Al-Rashids, who often travel with their children, after a lifetime of flying in Gulfstreams owned by Ibrahim’s father. The super midsize jet, with seating for up to 11 passengers, is used mostly for business travel but the Al-Rashids have already flown in their Praetor 600 to Mexico, Bermuda, and Geneva since its February delivery. This summer, they are planning a trip around the world, including Japan and other parts of Asia.
The jet, reportedly valued at around $26 million, features a high-impact interior that combines opulent materials with cutting-edge comfort.
The quality moves throughout the cabin. Embraer, Ibrahim and Ryann Al-Rashid.
The Praetor 600, Embraer’s flagship super-midsize business jet, remains a market leader — renowned for its class-leading intercontinental range of 4,018 nmi (7,441 km) andFL410 altitude cruise capability. Its advanced fly-by-wire avionics suite, low cabin altitude, and quiet, spacious interior ensure passengers arrive refreshed and productive.
Al‑Rashid’s custom configuration includes a sleek lounge area, premium seating, bespoke carpeting, and mood lighting — all reflective of their personal brand and Miami lifestyle, while maintaining the Praetor’s blend of performance and refinement.

“Inspiration through materials” was the motto for designing the custom interior. But the couple soon realised the inspiration would require a lot more time than originally planned. “It is surprising how many hours one can spend outfitting a relatively small space,” says Ibrahim, CEO of Limestone Asset Management, a commercial real estate investment company.
Ryann’s inspiration for the cabin came from a Rolls-Royce she’d owned for five years. But that was just the initial reference point. Reimagining a fresh, compelling jet interior meant combining a range of materials in unconventional ways. The goal was to avoid a multi-patterned cabin that clashed, but instead create something that was unified because of smart design choices. The names of the materials—Icicle Shimmer Fusion valance panels, Aeronappa Hawthorn table shrouds, and TAJ Cowhide Blue Jewel magazine holders—give a sense of the bold selection process.
At the same time that Ryann was jigsawing colours and materials, Jay Beaver, Embraer’s vice president of interior design, and his team were following a parallel path. The Embraer designers envisioned a colour scheme that was remarkably similar to Ryann’s, but pushed it one step farther with a carpet that became the cabin’s signature feature.
The blue carpet gives a modern designer look to the interior.
Made of navy-blue Cambria wool, silk, and rose-gold stitching, the carpet design depicts the Amazon rainforest morphing into a circuit board, symbolising the blending of nature and technology. “We’d already gone through 30 different rug concepts, but they all seemed a little loud,” says Ryann. “This one had a beautiful pattern that was also really impactful.”
The interior’s more practical side includes stowable workstations, forward club and divan cabin seating, a fully enclosed aft lavatory, and dual Wi-Fi systems that include Gogo Avance L5 and Ka-band satellite connectivity. The Praetor’s cabin-management system allows passengers to control lighting, temperature, and entertainment via their phones or iPads.
