What is the Embraer Phenom 300E?
The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet that seats 6 to 10 passengers and flies about 2,010 nm non-stop. Embraer calls it the best-selling light jet for over a decade, and 961 had been delivered by the third quarter of 2026, so it is one of the easiest light jets to find for charter.
6 seats as standard and up to 10 with options, in a cabin 5 ft 1 in (1.55 m) wide and 4 ft 11 in (1.50 m) tall.
2,010 nm of range with 5 occupants and NBAA reserves, and a high-speed cruise of 464 kts.
84 cu ft of baggage and stowage, including a 66 cu ft rear hold.
Approved by EASA for steep approaches of up to 5.5 degrees, which opened London City to operators with the right approvals.
15 fly with 8 operators holding an ANAC air taxi authorisation, based in Barueri, Belo Horizonte, Carapicuíba, Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Altivo Jets books them through these licensed operators.

Fuel burn and CO2
The Phenom 300E burns about 183 US gallons (554 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 1.8 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.
| Flight | Fuel | CO2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 flight hour | 550 kg | 1.8 tonnes |
| 3 flight hours | 1,660 kg | 5.3 tonnes |
| 8 flight hours | 4,430 kg | 14.0 tonnes |
Average block figures; real burn depends on weight, altitude and winds. Fuel at 0.8 kg per litre.

Phenom 300E interior and cabin layout
Embraer's standard Phenom 300E layout seats 6 passengers with a refreshment center. Options add a seventh seat, a two-place side-facing divan and a belted lavatory seat, for up to 9 or 10 passengers. Most charter aircraft have a four-seat club in the middle of the cabin. Every aircraft is fitted out by its owner, so we confirm the exact seat map and Wi-Fi with each quote. The layouts below come from specification sheets of aircraft offered for sale.
Inside the Phenom 300E
Cabin layouts
- One aft-facing single seat
- Four seats facing in pairs
- Two forward-facing seats
- Belted lavatory behind, serviced from outside, the eighth passenger place
- Two-place side-facing divan
- Refreshment center across the aisle
- Four-place club with tray tables
- Two more seats, six club seats in all
- Belted lavatory with a sink behind a solid pocket door, the ninth passenger place
How big is the cabin?
4 ft 11 in (1.50 m) tall and 5 ft 1 in (1.55 m) wide: most adults stoop slightly in the aisle. The cabin runs 17 ft 2 in (5.23 m).
Drawn to scale from the height and width; the figure is 1.80 m tall.
Cabin size
17 ft 2 in (5.23 m) long, 5 ft 1 in (1.55 m) wide and 4 ft 11 in (1.50 m) tall.
Galley
A refreshment center at the front of the cabin rather than a full galley. Embraer fits one in every standard layout. The specification sheets we checked do not list an oven or a microwave.
Lavatories
One, at the back of the cabin, behind a door. A belted seat is an option, and on aircraft that have it the lavatory counts as a passenger seat for take-off and landing. One aircraft we checked has a lavatory serviced from outside. The Phenom 300EV adds a vacuum lavatory.
Wi-Fi and connectivity
Varies by aircraft. Embraer offers Gogo Avance L5 air-to-ground Wi-Fi, which works over the US and Canada only. Specification sheets of older aircraft show Gogo ATG 4000 and Gogo C1 Wi-Fi, and one aircraft has an Iridium phone. We confirm the system for your aircraft.
Baggage
84 cu ft in total. The 66 cu ft rear hold is loaded from outside, so you cannot reach it in flight. The rest is stowage inside the cabin.
Cabin altitude
6,600 ft at 45,000 ft. A lower cabin altitude means less fatigue and better sleep on long flights.
Cabin updates
Garmin G3000-based Prodigy Touch flight deck, with autothrottle and a runway overrun alerting system on the current Phenom 300E. Upper tech panel along the ceiling on the Phenom 300E, with two swing-down 7 in screens, cabin controls and flight information. Embraer says the windows are the largest in the class. Cabin altitude of 6,600 ft at 45,000 ft on the current Phenom 300E.

How much does a Phenom 300E cost?

Light jets, per flight hour
What moves the price
- Positioning: one-way trips usually pay for the empty flight home.
- Crew overnights and waiting days on multi-day trips.
- Airport and handling fees, plus any local taxes and airport fees.
- Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.
Charter or own?
Owning a Phenom 300E costs about R$2.55 million a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about R$16,800 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Where the Phenom 300E can land
A light jet that needs a short runway and can fly steep approaches.
Runway needed
About 3,209 ft to take off at maximum weight at sea level, and about 2,212 ft to land with 5 occupants. Hot or high airports need more.
Steep approach
EASA approved the Phenom 300 in May 2014 for approaches as steep as 5.5 degrees. Each operator also needs its own approval, which we check before we quote.
London City
London City needs approval for both the aircraft and the crew because of its 5.5 degree approach. NetJets Europe won approval for its Phenom 300s in February 2015.

Phenom 300E safety record
Events from official investigations and safety databases. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.
July 2015
A Phenom 300 (HZ-IBN) overran the runway on landing at Blackbushe, England, and caught fire. All four people on board died. The UK AAIB found no technical fault. The approach was unstable, the aircraft crossed the threshold about 43 kts too fast and touched down 710 m along the runway, and the pilot was probably overloaded and kept going instead of going around.
January 2023
A Phenom 300 (N555NR) stalled just after take-off from Provo, Utah, in freezing weather. The pilot died and two passengers were badly hurt. The NTSB found that the aircraft had not been deiced, so ice on the wing caused the stall.
2009 to 2026

How far can a Phenom 300E fly?+
About 2,010 nm with 5 occupants at long range cruise, with NBAA IFR reserves. The Phenom 300EV due in 2028 raises this to 2,055 nm.
Does the Phenom 300E have a bathroom?+
Yes. There is an enclosed lavatory at the back of the cabin, and on many aircraft it has a seat belt so it counts as a passenger seat. The cabin is 4 ft 11 in (1.50 m) tall, so most adults cannot stand upright.
What is the difference between the Phenom 300E and the Citation CJ4?+
The Phenom 300E has a wider and taller cabin, 5 ft 1 in by 4 ft 11 in against 4 ft 10 in by 4 ft 9 in, and more baggage space inside the cabin. The CJ4 Gen2 flies a little further, up to 2,165 nm, and costs a little less to run. Top speeds are about the same.
How fast is the Phenom 300E?+
It cruises at up to 464 kts and its top speed is Mach 0.80. It can fly as high as 45,000 ft.
Can the Phenom 300 fly into London City Airport?+
Yes, with the right approvals. EASA approved the Phenom 300 for steep approaches of up to 5.5 degrees in 2014, and NetJets Europe won approval to fly its Phenom 300s into London City in 2015. Each operator needs its own approval, which we check before we quote.
