Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 2005 - Origin of the Phenom program (2005)

    Embraer announced the Phenom program in 2005, with the Phenom 100 (VLJ) and Phenom 300 (light jet) sharing a design family and production pipeline in São José dos Campos. The program was Embraer's entry into the premium business aviation market.

  2. 2008First flight
  3. 2009 - Launch and certification

    Announced in 2005 by Embraer Executive Jets as an evolution of the Phenom 100. First flight in April 2008. ANAC (Brazil's civil aviation authority) certification in December 2009 and first delivery in December 2009.

  4. 2009 - First flight in 2008 and certification in 2009

    The Phenom 300 made its first flight on April 29, 2008. ANAC (Brazil's civil aviation authority) certification was obtained on December 3, 2009 and FAA in December 2009. First global deliveries took place that same December 2009, a program delivered on schedule.

  8. 2013 - Most-delivered light jet in the world since 2013

    The Phenom 300 has led the GAMA annual delivery ranking in the light category since 2013, surpassing the Citation CJ4, Learjet 75 and Hawker 400. Adding up all versions of the series (300, 300E and 300EV), there are more than 900 aircraft in service in 2026, according to Embraer, making it the most successful light jet of the 21st century. Clean-sheet design positioning (not derived), with first flight in 2008 and EIS in 2009.

  9. 2017 - Most-delivered light jet in the world (2013-2017)

    For five consecutive years (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), the Phenom 300 was the most-delivered light jet globally, according to GAMA data. It beat the Citation CJ3, CJ4 and M2 in annual volume in all those years. A very rare mark of acceptance for a new product.

  10. 2018 - Succession by the Phenom 300E in 2018

    In 2017-2018, Embraer transitioned to the Phenom 300E (Bossa Nova interior, autothrottle, factory Wi-Fi, Mach 0.80 only from 2020). The first Phenom 300E was delivered in March 2018, ending production of the original Phenom 300; in March 2019 the Phenom 300 series (300 and 300E combined) reached its 500th delivery.

Brazil Fleet

The Embraer Phenom 300 is a light jet for up to 10 passengers with a 1,971 nm range, built from 2009 to 2018, the version that preceded the 300E. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count, summed across the variants of the Phenom 300 family, is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status is in the model's Analytics.

According to Embraer, ANAC issued the Phenom 300 type certificate on 3 Dec 2009 and the FAA on 14 Dec 2009. In the certification release, the manufacturer stated a 1,971 nm range with six occupants and NBAA IFR reserves (the design target was 1,800 nm), a 45,000 ft ceiling and two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535-E engines.

According to GAMA data released by Embraer on 18 Feb 2026, the Phenom 300 series was the world's best-selling light jet for the 14th consecutive year; according to Embraer, the series fleet exceeds 900 aircraft in service in 70 countries.

Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Midsize cabin in a light jet

A cabin 1.52 m high and 1.55 m wide is larger than many older midsizes (Hawker 700, Falcon 10) and equivalent to the Citation Bravo. Direct light competitors (CJ4: 1.45 m; Learjet 75: 1.50 m; Hawker 400XP: 1.45 m) fall behind. It is not a stand-up cabin (that requires 1.80 m or more, like the Praetor 500 or PC-24). Standard 6+1 layout, but up to 8 passengers is possible.

Garmin G3000 native from the factory

It left the factory in 2009 with Garmin Prodigy (modified G1000), updated to Prodigy Touch (G3000) in 2013, three 14-inch touchscreen displays, GFC 700 autopilot, SVT (Synthetic Vision Technology), TAWS-A, ADS-B Out, FANS-1/A. Certified for single-pilot operation, reducing crew cost for corporate operators.

Lowest operating cost in the segment

Direct operating cost is one of the lowest in the light/midsize segment (see the dynamic cost summary on this page for the updated value). Combined with a larger cabin, it became a favorite of fractional operators (NetJets, Flexjet, Avantto) and VIP charter for 2-3h missions.

Absolute leader in deliveries (light jet)

The most-delivered light jet in the world since 2013 according to annual GAMA reports, the global fleet passed 700 units in 2022.

GAMA Annual Report

Short runway, 3,138 ft balanced

The Phenom 300 has one of the shortest balanced field lengths in the light category: 3,138 ft. It allows operation at runways that normally exclude light jets, SBJD (Jundiaí), SBSO (Sorocaba), Aspen (KASE), London City (EGLC).

Flat-floor cabin, 1.55m wide

Unlike the CJ3/CJ4 (not flat-floor) and the Hawker 400XP (1.47m width), the Phenom 300 has a genuine flat floor and a width of 1.55m. For passengers, the gain in lateral space at the seats is noticeable.

Brazilian-built, regional support

With the wing and fuselage built in Botucatu (SP), the Phenom 300 has regional factory support through Embraer Executive Jets, parts turnaround, component exchange and specialized MRO available in Brazil. An advantage vs. imported Citation/Hawker.

Limitations

No stand-up cabin

Interior height of about 1.50m, comfortable for a light jet, but passengers over 1.85m feel the ceiling. It is not a 'stand-up' cabin like the Praetor 500 or PC-24.

Embraer specs

No autothrottle on the original Phenom 300

The original Phenom 300 (2009-2018) has no integrated autothrottle, a feature that only appeared on the Phenom 300E (2018+). In single-pilot operations or with high workloads (weather, complex ATC), the absence is noticed.

No APU

The Phenom 300 has no APU. On the ground, air conditioning and engine start depend on a GPU/ASU, a limitation at FBOs without adequate infrastructure. In Brazil, this affects operations at smaller regional runways.

Global curiosities

Strong presence in Brazil, fractional and charter

In Brazil, the Phenom 300 is the workhorse of the Avantto fractions, also present in Líder Aviação charter. RAB-ANAC (Brazil's aircraft registry) reports more than 60 active Phenom 300s in the country in 2024, the largest light fractional fleet in the southern hemisphere. Embraer assembles the units in Melbourne (Florida), with the wing and fuselage built in Botucatu (SP).

2024ANAC RAB

Light with the range of an older midsize

An NBAA range of 1,971 NM places the 300 above older midsizes like the Hawker 800XP and Citation VII; it is categorized in the 'super-light' sub-class.

Embraer / Hawker specs

E and E2 variants with more thrust

The Phenom 300E (2017) and the advanced 300E (2020) brought the 'Bossa Nova' cabin, PW535E1 engines with more thrust and a maximum Mach of 0.80, keeping the original airframe.

Embraer Executive Jets

NetJets, the world's largest operator

NetJets operates more than 70 Phenom 300/300Es in its US fractional fleet, one of the largest Phenom 300 fleets in the world. This volume sustained the program's commercial success and validated the type internationally.

In Brazil

Final assembly in Melbourne, structure in Brazil

Final assembly of the Phenom 300 takes place on Embraer's line in Melbourne (Florida), where all Phenom assembly was transferred (announced in 2015). The wing and fuselage are still built in Brazil, in Botucatu (SP).

Brazilian fleet is one of the largest outside the US

Brazil is one of the main markets for the Phenom 300 outside the US, with an estimated 60+ active aircraft. Operators include fractional Flexjet (which has a specific program), premium charter (CTA, Líder), corporate holdings and agribusiness entrepreneurs.
