According to data presented by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) at its State of the Industry press conference in Washington, D.C., the Embraer Phenom 300 series continues its reign as the world’s best-selling light jet for the 14th straight year.
In 2025, Embraer delivered 72 Phenom 300 series aircraft, marking the highest annual total of this decade. With more than 900 aircraft in service worldwide, operating in 70 countries and accumulating over 2.9 million flight hours, the Phenom 300 series once again set the benchmark for performance, technology, and comfort in the light jet segment.
“The Phenom 300E continues to dominate the light jet category because it delivers what customers value most: unmatched performance, advanced technology, and an exceptional ownership experience,” said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “Year after year, the Phenom 300E remains the benchmark in its class — reinforcing its leadership position and the trust our customers place in our brand. We are proud to celebrate yet another milestone in the ongoing success of the world’s most desired light jet.”
The Phenom 300E is the fastest light jet in production, capable of a maximum speed of Mach 0.80 and a five-occupant range of 2,010 nautical miles with NBAA IFR reserves. The aircraft’s advanced avionics suite includes the Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS) — the first system of its kind to be developed and certified in business aviation — as well as autothrottle, Synthetic Vision System, Emergency Descent Mode, and other features.
The Phenom 300E also incorporates technology typically found in larger jets, such as single-point refuelling, an externally serviced lavatory, and an airstair. Beyond the light jet segment, Embraer’s Praetor family also performed strongly in 2025, with 69 aircraft deliveries.
This momentum helped drive Executive Aviation to 155 total deliveries, setting a new record for the business unit, and marked a major program milestone as the Praetor fleet surpassed 400 aircraft delivered worldwide. The aircraft is capable of flying at 45,000 feet, powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 engines with 3,478 pounds of thrust each.
