Discover the best-selling Brazilian jet in the world

An aviation powerhouse, Brazil has had the world’s best-selling light jet for 12 consecutive years. This is the Phenom 300 series, according to data released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), on February 21.

As of 2023, Embraer has delivered 63 Phenom 300 series aircraft. Over the past decade, 730 units have been delivered worldwide, operating in 40 countries.

With more than 2 million flight hours logged, the Phenom 300 recently became the most flown business jet in the United States, with more than 360,000 flights in a 12-month period.

A national symbol, Embraer is the third largest company in the sector in terms of sales worldwide. It is a Brazilian transnational conglomerate, manufacturer of commercial, directional, agricultural and military aircraft, aerospace parts, services and support in the area.

“The Phenom 300 Series continues to demonstrate Embraer’s commitment to offering the best business aviation experience,” says Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Aviation.

“For more than a decade, the aircraft has earned well-deserved recognition and continues to excel in performance, technology, comfort and support,” he added.

“With continued dedication to our loyal customers, we will continue to develop the program based on operator feedback, industry trends and new technologies,” he says.

The Phenom 300E is the fastest light jet in production, with a maximum cruising speed of 860 kilometers per hour and a range of 2,010 nautical miles (3,724 km).

The Phenom 300E’s operating and maintenance costs are lower than its peers, one of the qualities most valued by millionaires.

Additionally, the aircraft is capable of flying at 45,000 feet (13,716 meters), powered by two engines.

Seating comfort, with full recline and motion, is enhanced by the best pressurization among light jets (maximum cabin altitude 6,600 feet).

The largest windows in the class provide abundant natural lighting in both the cabin and ensuite.

The Phenom 300E has distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, cloakroom, refreshment center, voice and data communication options and an entertainment system.

The Phenom 300E also offers innovative technologies such as the industry’s first Runway Departure Prevention and Warning System (ROAAS), which provides crew alerts reducing the risk of runway departure during landing.

The starting price of a Phenom 300 jet is $12.5 million, or more than R$60 million in direct conversion. We found the Phenom 300 E 2023, new for 14 million dollars, the equivalent of R$ 67.2 million in the catalog of the Aeronaves à Venda website.

The Phenom 300E is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 0.80, or 963 km/h, with an average cruising speed of 840 km/h.

It has a quieter cabin than ever, has a best-in-class cabin altitude and now offers automatic acceleration technology for a more automated and intuitive flight experience.

The Phenon 300E has also improved the interior entertainment system with on-demand audio and video on two seven-inch retractable monitors, Bluetooth for personal devices and seats with wider backrests, further improving comfort and leg and head support.

The versions vary from 8 to 11 occupants, with a maximum capacity of 10 passengers plus the pilot, as it is a jet that can be flown entirely by a single crew member (single pilot).

Businessman and TV host Luciano Huck uses a Phenom 300 to fulfill his constant commitments in Brazil. Huck’s plane has a flight range of 3,650 kilometers and can carry up to 8 passengers.

The Phenom 300’s advanced flight deck is equipped with cutting-edge avionics, providing pilots with precise and intuitive flight instruments.

The integration of the Garmin G3000 flight control system contributes to a smooth and efficient piloting experience, ensuring safety and reliability in all phases of flight.

The person who celebrated the presence of the Phenom 300 as the best-selling jet in the world, especially in the United States, where it surpassed its competitors, was the vice president of the republic Geraldo Alckmin. The politician published the news on his social network.
