Embraer Phenom 300 Retains Title as World’s Best-Selling Light Jet
The Embraer Phenom 300 has once again claimed the title of the world’s best-selling and most delivered light jet, marking its 13th consecutive year at the top of the category. The milestone is confirmed by the latest delivery data released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).
According to GAMA figures, Embraer delivered 65 Phenom 300-series aircraft during 2024, securing not only the leading position among light jets, but also making the Phenom 300 the most delivered twin-engine business jet for the fifth year in a row. The strong delivery performance allowed Embraer to close the year with the industry’s highest book-to-bill ratio, highlighting sustained demand and production efficiency.
Since its introduction, the Phenom 300 has built a reputation as one of the most successful business jets in aviation history. The program has surpassed 830 deliveries worldwide, with aircraft operating in more than 40 countries and accumulating over 2.5 million flight hours. Certified for single-pilot operation, the jet is widely used for corporate, charter, and owner-operator missions, offering flexibility that appeals to a broad customer base.
Operators consistently cite the Phenom 300’s performance, reliability, and operating economics as key differentiators. The aircraft combines high cruise speeds, strong runway performance, and advanced avionics with relatively low direct operating costs, making it particularly attractive in the competitive light-jet segment. Its spacious cabin, modern interior options, and strong dispatch reliability have also contributed to high utilization rates across global fleets.
Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, said the latest results reflect both strong market fundamentals and Embraer’s execution. “It’s an extraordinary time for Embraer Executive Jets as we continue our strong sales and deliveries momentum, as well as accelerate our market share growth,” he said. “These latest GAMA figures are the perfect complement to the company’s success and solidify our industry-leading position.”
The Phenom 300’s continued dominance comes as demand for light jets remains resilient, driven by business aviation’s expanding role in corporate travel, charter services, and regional connectivity. Customers increasingly value aircraft that balance performance with cost control, particularly as operating environments become more complex.
For Embraer, the Phenom 300 remains a cornerstone of its executive aviation portfolio and a benchmark for competitors. As production continues and the global fleet grows, the aircraft’s long-running success underscores how consistent product refinement, customer support, and operational versatility can translate into sustained leadership in one of business aviation’s most competitive segments.
