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.

    The Phenom 300E was announced by Embraer in 2017 as the premium evolution of the Phenom 300, with a Bossa Nova interior designed in collaboration with Sotheby's, factory blended winglets (previously optional), standard Gogo Avance L5 Wi-Fi and acoustic refinements that reduced cabin noise by up to 4dB. Positioned to regain leadership vs. the Cessna Citation CJ4 and the Pilatus PC-24.

Brazil Fleet

The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet for up to 10 passengers, the Phenom 300 version in production since 2018. 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 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 had 72 deliveries in 2025, and the fleet exceeds 900 aircraft in service in 70 countries. In the same release, Embraer described the 300E as the fastest light jet in production: Mach 0.80 maximum speed and a 2,010 nm range with five occupants and NBAA IFR reserves.

New, the 300E costs US$13.4 million typically equipped (B&CA Purchase Planning Handbook, Q1 2026). 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.

Phenom 300 family: most delivered light jet in the world for 13 years running

The Phenom 300 family (Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E combined) is the most delivered light jet in the world by GAMA count for 13 years running, through 2024. According to Embraer, the series passed 830 deliveries worldwide by the end of 2024, with 65 delivered in 2024 alone. These totals are for the whole family, not just the 300E variant.

Midsize jet cabin in a light envelope

A stand-up cabin of 1.52m height and 1.55m width is larger than many older midsize jets (Hawker 700, Falcon 10) and equivalent to the Citation Excel. Direct light competitors (CJ4: 1.45m; Learjet 75: 1.50m; Hawker 400XP: 1.45m) fall behind. A club-4 + divan layout with an enclosed lavatory and forward galley delivers a premium cabin experience in the light segment, justifying an MSRP at the top of the category.

Steep approach for London City and ROAAS

The Phenom 300E is certified for the steep approach at London City airport (5.5° glide slope), a feature shared by only a few midsize jets and few lights. Integration with ROAAS, which predicts the risk of a runway overrun 12 seconds in advance via a stopping probability algorithm, raises operational safety above the category standard.

Competitive operating cost for the segment

Direct operating cost of approximately USD 1,900/hour is competitive in the light/midsize segment, vs. USD 2,300 for the CJ4 and USD 2,800 for the Learjet 75. Combined with a larger cabin and superior range (2,010nm vs. 2,165nm for the CJ4 and 2,040nm for the Learjet 75), it delivers the best cost/cabin/range balance in the category. That is why it is a favorite of fractional operators and VIP charter on 2-4h missions.

Mach 0.80, fastest light jet in production

The power control revision and aerodynamic adjustments raised the maximum operating speed to Mach 0.80 (vs 0.78 for the original Phenom 300). This makes the 300E the fastest light jet in production today, surpassing the CJ3+ (Mach 0.737) and CJ4 (Mach 0.77).

Bossa Nova interior, award-winning Brazilian design

The "Bossa Nova" interior was designed by Embraer's Brazilian design team, inspired by the curves and materials of Rio's modernist architecture (Niemeyer). It received international awards (Red Dot, IF Design Award) and raised the perception of quality vs. competitors.

Factory Gogo Avance L5 Wi-Fi

The Phenom 300E is the first light jet with factory-installed Wi-Fi (Gogo Avance L5). ATG (air-to-ground) connectivity with coverage in the US, Canada and part of Latin America. For executive charter and corporate missions, it is a real differentiator.

Limitations

Long backlog makes immediate delivery difficult

With demand far exceeding Embraer's production capacity in São José dos Campos (~50 units/year), the Phenom 300E backlog stood at 18-24 months during 2023-2024. Buyers who need immediate delivery end up turning to the pre-owned market (USD 8.5M-11.5M for 2018-2023 units), sometimes paying a premium over the equivalent new aircraft depending on availability.

No APU, an inherited limitation

The Phenom 300E retained the original 300's lack of an APU. On Brazilian regional runways without GPU/ASU available, operation becomes complex, particularly in summer heat. Competitors such as the CJ4 also have no APU, but the Hawker and Citation Latitude offer one.

Global curiosities

Strong presence in Brazil: Avantto, NetJets BR and Líder

In Brazil, the Phenom 300/300E is the flagship of Avantto's fractional shares and is also present at Líder Aviação and charters such as Helisul Táxi Aéreo. The ANAC RAB (Brazil's aircraft registry) reported in 2024 more than 65 active Phenom 300/300E in Brazil, the largest light jet fleet in Latin America. Embraer builds 100% of the units in São José dos Campos with local completion as well, creating a relevant industrial cluster.

Garmin G3000 Prodigy Touch, touchscreen pioneer in light jets

The Phenom 300E's Garmin G3000 Prodigy Touch was one of the first integrated touchscreen systems in light jets. The "Prodigy Touch" version is customized by Embraer with integration of autothrottle, Embraer weather radar and fuel management.

Tom Cruise flies a Phenom 300

Actor Tom Cruise is an enthusiast pilot and operates a Phenom 300 in his personal collection of aircraft. The choice of the Phenom 300 as the personal aircraft of a global media figure was mentioned in several specialized articles as proof of the type's reputation among owner-pilots.

In Brazil

Bossa Nova, a Brazilian cultural tribute

The name "Bossa Nova" for the interior is a direct reference to the Brazilian music genre of the 1950s/1960s. Embraer used musical inspiration in the naming of several design lines, a mark of Brazilianness in the executive aviation portfolio.

Embraer Executive Care, SP, MG and RJ

Embraer Executive Care maintains authorized centers in São José dos Campos (SP, factory), Sorocaba (SP), Belo Horizonte (MG) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Brazilian Phenom 300E operators have access to faster turnaround than Citation/Hawker competitors that depend on international logistics for critical parts.
