Embraer Executive Jets delivered 63 Phenom 300 light jets in 2016, the highest volume of any business jet model for the year, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). The Phenom 300 has achieved this position for the fourth consecutive year and it has completed 266 deliveries since 2013.

“We are elated to once again see the Phenom 300 receive such an important recognition from the market,” says CEO Paulo Cesar Silva. “We are very grateful to our customers for the validation of the aircraft's original design as well as all their input, which has made this jet the best in its class. The trust that customers have in us strengthens our resolve to deliver the best user experience.”

After seven years of operation, the Phenom 300 fleet is approaching the 400 aircraft mark, and has accounted for half of the light jet market since 2012. The aircraft is in operation in 30 countries and has accumulated close to 500,000 flight hours.
