Overview

The Embraer Phenom 300 at a glance

Charter clients pick the Phenom 300 for three reasons. First, cabin comfort: the flat floor, 1.55 m width and enclosed lavatory feel closer to a midsize jet than to a Citation CJ. Second, runway performance: it operates comfortably out of London City (with weight restrictions), Aspen, Lugano and the shorter Greek-island fields. Third, range: 3,650 km covers London to Athens, London to Marrakech, or New York to Havana non-stop. The 2020-onward Phenom 300E variant adds a new interior, cabin-altitude improvements and a modest range bump.

Embraer Phenom 300 This model 3,650 km 7 464 kt 1.5 × 1.55 m The most-delivered business jet in the world for a decade. Best cabin in class, single-pilot approved, superb short-runway performance.

Seven with a two-place aft divan, or six in the more common four-place club plus single-seat layout.
What is the Phenom 300 hourly charter rate?
Typical European rates run 3,600 to 4,200 EUR per hour ex-tax. North-American operators quote 3,800 to 4,600 USD per hour. The exact price depends on repositioning, airport fees and season.
How much does a Phenom 300 cost new?

What does it cost to own and operate a Phenom 300?
Fixed costs (crew salaries, hangar, insurance, subscriptions) run about 580,000 to 780,000 USD per year. Variable costs are roughly 1,900 to 2,400 USD per flight hour including fuel, maintenance reserves and landing fees. At 400 hours per year, all-in operating cost lands near 1.5 to 1.8 million USD.
How many crew does the Phenom 300 need?
The aircraft is single-pilot certified, but charter operations almost always fly with two pilots for redundancy and duty-time flexibility. No cabin attendant is required.
Where is the Phenom 300 built?
Embraer manufactures the Phenom 300 at its facility in São José dos Campos, Brazil, with final completion and delivery also available at the Melbourne, Florida site for North American customers.
What year did the Phenom 300 first fly?
The prototype first flew in April 2008 and Embraer delivered the first customer aircraft in December 2009. The upgraded Phenom 300E entered service in 2017 and the current 300MED variant in 2020.
Is the Phenom 300 still in production?

What engines does the Phenom 300 use?
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 turbofans, each producing 3,478 lbf of thrust. They are FADEC-controlled, quiet, and share commonality with other PW500 series engines widely used in business aviation.
How does the Phenom 300 compare to a Citation CJ3+?

What is the baggage capacity?
1,100 litres, or about 74 cubic feet, split between an external heated compartment and an internal cabin locker. Enough for seven passengers with full-size ski or golf bags.
