Aircraft Phenom 300E

The Phenom 300 has been the world's most-delivered light jet for twelve years running (700+ aircraft). The 300E version: eight to ten seats, a range of 3,723 km, and a cruising speed of 859 km/h (530 mph) is the fastest production light jet. It features PW535E1 engines, an Oval Lite cabin by BMW Designworks, and G3000 avionics with autothrust. It has been in production since 2009 and is constantly being updated. There is no flight attendant or hot meals, so the cabin is compact. There is no in-flight baggage access; baggage is loaded on the ground. Typical routes include Moscow–Nice, Almaty–Tbilisi, and Tashkent–Nizhny Novgorod. Send us your request—we will prepare a proposal, calculate the content, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

Phenom 300E benchmarks: average used price is $11.8 million; new price is $12.5 million. Maintenance with 300-400 flight hours per year is approximately $1.60 million/year, with $3,998 flight hours per hour. The final price depends on the year, flight hours, engine life, and configuration. Send us a request – we will prepare a proposal, calculate maintenance, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

The Brazilian Embraer is the world's third-largest manufacturer of commercial aircraft, after the Airbus and Boeing. Its business line includes the very light Phenom 100EX, the light Phenom 300E—the world's best-selling light jet for 12 consecutive years—and the super-midsize Praetor 500/600 with a range of up to 7,440 km. Its signature style includes interiors designed by BMW and fully digital fly-by-wire controls on the Praetor.

The Phenom 300 fleet has surpassed 700 aircraft with a dispatchability rate exceeding 99.8%, while the % boasts PW535E engines averaging 5,000 hours before overhaul. The Praetor inherits the airframe of the proven Legacy 450/500 series. The Embraer service network in Europe and the Middle East (Paris, Lisbon, and Dubai) fully covers the needs of operators in the CIS region; major maintenance operations do not require flights to the US.

The Phenom 300 is a benchmark for liquidity: a five-year-old 300E sells for $9–10.5 million, compared to $12.5 million for new, and its 30–60-day exposure is among the shortest on the market. Due to a shortage of new slots, the Praetor 600 sells at a minimal discount. Early Phenom 100s ($2.3–3 million) are a popular first jet, with demand stable even during weak quarters.

Two leaders in the super-midsize class. The Praetor 600 has a longer range—7,441 km versus 6,297 km for the Challenger—and is equipped with full fly-by-wire with active turbulence reduction. The Challenger 3500 boasts the widest cabin in its class (2.19 m versus 2.08 m) and a significantly larger fleet than its 300/350 predecessors, indicating a well-developed service infrastructure. List prices are similar: $21–27 million.

Light jets are the most popular business aviation class for flights of 2-4 hours: Almaty-Dubai, Moscow-Istanbul, Astana-Moscow. With a range of 3,700-4,000 km, the 80% covers real business routes across the CIS, Middle East, and Europe. At the same time, this class maintains access to short runways (starting from 1,200 m) and a reasonable hourly rate—the golden mean between light jets and midsize aircraft.

The standard configuration is 6-8 seats, with a maximum of 10 (Phenom 300E). Comfortable long-haul seating is 4-6 passengers. The luggage compartments hold 0.9-1.9 m³: that's 6-8 suitcases plus carry-on luggage; the CJ4 and Phenom 300 can fit skis and golf bags. A full cabin and full fuel tanks are not available simultaneously—with eight passengers, the range drops by approximately a quarter.

It's 1,000-1,500 km longer than the VLJ, has a full-size toilet, and twice the luggage space. It's also cheaper than the mid-size jet: the $1 costs 500-2,500 rubles per hour, but the cabin is lower (you can't stand up straight) and there's no separate crew compartment. The choice is as follows: 2-4 hours of flying with four people is the Easy Jet; 5+ hours, 8+ people, or a standing cabin is required—the Mid-size Jet.

Ten models to choose from: the best-selling Embraer Phenom 300E (up to 10 seats, 3,720 km), the Cessna CJ2+/CJ3/CJ4 family with best-in-class fuel economy, the high-speed Learjet 40XR/45XR/70/75 with a cruise speed of up to 860 km/h, the remanufactured Nextant 400XTi - jet speed at the price of a turboprop, and the Beechcraft Premier IA with a composite fuselage and the widest cabin in its class.

Start with two figures: the typical route length and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 passengers – a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km – a medium jet; nonstop intercontinental flights – a long-haul jet. Add adjustments for short runs, baggage volume, and berths. We'll select a model that matches your profile and calculate the economics of ownership.

A new aircraft comes with a factory warranty and a 1-3 year waiting list, but the price is maximum. A used aircraft offers immediate delivery and a lower price for the 30-60%, but it's important to check the engine life and history. For most buyers, a new aircraft, 3-7 years old, is optimal: the main discount has already been applied, and the aircraft still has a long service life. We consider both options.
