Thursday, February 22, 2024

Embraer proudly declared that its flagship Phenom 300 series has once again outshone competitors by being the top-selling light jet in the world for the twelfth year in a row, as well as clinching the title of the top-selling twinjet for the fourth consecutive year. This achievement is based on the latest statistics from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). In 2023 alone, Embraer succeeded in delivering 63 aircraft from the Phenom 300 series.

This achievement underscores Embraer’s relentless pursuit of innovation and superiority in the field of aviation. Over the last decade, the Phenom 300 series has emerged as the most successful business jet, with over 730 units delivered across 40 countries. Accumulating more than 2 million flight hours, the Phenom 300 has recently been recognized as the most frequently flown aircraft in the United States, with over 360,000 flights recorded over the past year.

“The Phenom 300 series continues to demonstrate Embraer’s commitment to delivering the ultimate experience in business aviation,” said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “For more than a decade, the aircraft has earned well-deserved recognition and continues to excel in terms of performance, technology, comfort, and support. With our ongoing dedication to our loyal customers, we will continue to develop the program based on customer feedback, industry trends, and new technologies.”

Adding to its list of advancements, Embraer recently introduced an autothrottle feature for the Phenom 300E, an enhancement aimed at improving its already pilot-friendly cockpit. This feature is part of the Prodigy Touch avionics suite, based on the Garmin G3000, which further boosts the jet’s operational efficiency.

The Phenom 300E stands as the fastest light jet in production, boasting a top cruise speed of 464 knots and a range of 2,010 nautical miles (3,724 km) with five occupants and NBAA IFR reserves. The jet also features unparalleled avionics capabilities, including the pioneering Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS), Coupled Go-Around, Emergency Descent Mode (EDM), among others, setting new standards in business aviation.
