Overview

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.

349 fly with 35 operators on the FAA Part 135 list, the largest Phenom 300E charter fleet anywhere. Altivo Jets books them through these certified 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.

Interior

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.

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.

Price

How much does a Phenom 300E cost?

A new Phenom 300E listed at about $11.0 million in 2023. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

Charter or own?

Owning a Phenom 300E costs about $501,000 a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about $3,300 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Airports

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.

Safety

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

The Aviation Safety Network keeps the full list of Phenom 300 accidents and incidents.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still deciding? A charter specialist will talk you through aircraft, airports and price, with no obligation.

Ask a specialist
How much does an Embraer Phenom 300E cost?+

The Phenom 300E was listed at $10.995 million new in 2023, and new delivery positions were priced above $14 million in August 2025. Pre-owned Phenom 300Es from 2018 to 2020 traded at $9.5 million to $12 million, Enhanced 300Es at $12 million to $13.5 million, and early Phenom 300s at $6 million to $8 million. Running one costs about $501,000 a year in fixed costs plus about $3,300 per flight hour.

How many passengers does a Phenom 300E seat?+

Embraer lists 6 passengers as standard and up to 10 with options such as a seventh seat, a two-place divan and a belted lavatory seat. Most aircraft for charter seat 7 or 8 with a four-seat club. We confirm the seat map of your aircraft with the quote.

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.

Who operates the Embraer Phenom 300E in the US?+

35 FAA Part 135 operators fly 349 of them. The largest fleets: NetJets Aviation (141), Flexjet (72), Wheels Up Private Jets (28), Summit Aviation (22) and Nicholas Air (16).

How much does it cost to charter a Phenom 300E?+

About $5.5k to $9.8k per flight hour, before federal excise tax, positioning and airport charges. A one-way trip is priced on flight hours plus the aircraft's return positioning, so ask for a quote on your dates.
