EMBRAER
PHENOM 300

Designed by Embraer, the Phenom 300 was initially conceived as a 6 seat light executive jet, but later models can accommodate up to 8, with the redesign of the forward refreshment centre.

​

Though similar in cross section to a Learjet 75, one of the clever attributes of this aircraft is its higher landing gear, giving the feeling of entering ‘up and into’ the aircraft and giving the extra sense of cabin space. It feels that little bit smaller than the Citation XLS, but this hasn’t fazed its popularity in the market.

 

The baggage space on this aircraft is very generous, taking golf bags and ski equipment with ease, only probably being outdone by the Pilatus PC24. 

 

Able to operate into London City and other short airfields, this aircraft has shown dominance in the Super Light Jet market. Currently we find that the Phenom 300 can be more expensive commercially than the Citation CJ2 & CJ3, but this may fade in time as more options enter the marketplace.

 

Alternatively the smaller 4 seat variant of the Phenom 300 (Phenom 100) may also be a possibility, given that both aircraft have the same cross section and are more suited to smaller trip lengths.
