Embraer's Phenom 300 series has maintained its position as the world’s best-selling light jet for the 14th consecutive year, according to data released by GAMA during its State of the Industry press conference in Washington DC. The data also confirmed the light jet as the most delivered twin-engine jet for the sixth year in a row.

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 sets 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,” says Michael Amalfitano, president and 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 2,010nm 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 delivered during the year. This momentum helped drive Embraer’s executive aviation division to 155 total deliveries, setting a new record for the business unit, and marked a major programme milestone as the Praetor fleet surpassed 400 aircraft delivered worldwide.
