Embraer Phenom 300 Charter

Charter the best-selling light jet in the world. The Embraer Phenom 300 blends transcontinental-capable range, a stand-up executive cabin, and short-runway access into one of private aviation's most cost-effective platforms.

Overview

Why the Phenom 300 leads the light-jet category

For more than a decade the Embraer Phenom 300 - and its upgraded Phenom 300E - has been the most-delivered light business jet in the world. It is the benchmark our clients compare every other light jet against, and for good reason.

Designed by Embraer with an emphasis on cabin comfort and pilot-grade systems, the Phenom 300 punches well above its category. The cabin features a flat floor, generously sized oval windows, and a refreshing-air system that keeps long days fresh. Twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines deliver the thrust to climb quickly above weather and reach altitudes most light jets cannot, while the trailing-link landing gear gives passengers one of the smoothest touchdowns in the class. The result is an aircraft that feels closer to a midsize jet than its operating cost would suggest.

  • Stand-up-feel cabin with a flat floor and the largest baggage compartment in the light-jet class.
  • Private aft lavatory with a door - a comfort feature many competing light jets lack.
  • Trailing-link gear and 45,000-foot ceiling for a smooth, weather-beating ride.
  • Short-runway capability that opens up regional airports closer to your final destination.
  • Twin-engine reliability backed by Embraer's global support network.

Best Use

Routes the Phenom 300 flies best

With roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range and genuine transcontinental capability under the right conditions, the Phenom 300 is the sweet spot for one to three hour business and leisure trips - and it stretches comfortably across the country.

New York to Miami

A flagship East Coast run - depart Teterboro (KTEB) and land at Opa-locka (KOPF) or Miami (KMIA) in around three hours, non-stop with a full cabin.

Chicago to Aspen

The Phenom 300's climb and short-field performance make it well suited to mountain airports like Aspen (KASE) for ski-season getaways.

Los Angeles to Cabo

Reach Cabo San Lucas (MMSD) from Southern California non-stop, trading airline connections for a direct two-and-a-half-hour hop.

Coast to Coast

Under favorable winds the Phenom 300 connects city pairs such as Las Vegas to the New York area with a single, planned fuel consideration.

Cost

What drives Phenom 300 charter pricing

Charter is priced per trip, never by a fixed sticker rate. The Phenom 300 sits in the light-jet hourly band and is among the most economical ways to fly privately at jet speed. Here is what shapes your quote.

Flight time & routing

Total billable hours, including any repositioning to bring the aircraft to your departure airport, are the largest single cost factor.

Schedule & demand

Peak travel dates, holidays, and major events lift rates; flexible timing and off-peak departures lower them.

Crew & overnights

Multi-day trips, overnight stays, and crew duty limits can add positioning legs or layover charges.

Fees & extras

Landing and handling fees, taxes, de-icing, catering, pets, and ground transport are itemized transparently in your quote.

FAQ

Common questions

How many passengers can the Embraer Phenom 300 carry?

Most charter Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E configurations seat up to seven passengers in the executive cabin, with a typical comfortable layout for six. A belted lavatory seat can extend capacity, and a single pilot or two-pilot crew operates the aircraft. For groups larger than seven, Private JetOne can suggest a midsize alternative.

What is the range of the Phenom 300 and which routes does it fit?

The Phenom 300 has a maximum range of roughly 2,000 nautical miles with NBAA reserves, enough to connect city pairs such as New York to Miami, Chicago to Aspen, or Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas non-stop. Real-world range varies with passenger load, headwinds, and runway length, so we confirm a non-stop plan for each specific trip.

How fast does the Phenom 300 fly and at what altitude?

The Phenom 300 cruises at about 453 knots true airspeed, with a high-speed cruise near Mach 0.78. It is certified to a maximum operating altitude of 45,000 feet, which lets it climb above most commercial traffic and weather for a smoother, quicker ride than slower light jets.

What does it cost to charter an Embraer Phenom 300?

Phenom 300 charter is priced per trip, not by a fixed sticker rate, and typically falls in the light-jet hourly band. The total depends on flight time, repositioning, overnight and crew duty days, airport and landing fees, taxes, peak-date demand, and catering or ground transport. Private JetOne quotes each route transparently with no membership fees.

Is the Phenom 300 a good choice for short business trips?

Yes. The Phenom 300 is one of the most popular light jets for business travel thanks to its speed, stand-up cabin feel, private aft lavatory, and ability to operate from shorter runways close to city centers. It pairs jet-class range with light-jet operating economics, making it efficient for one to three hour regional hops.
