Melbourne, Florida – February 19, 2025 – Embraer’s (NYSE: ERJ/B3: EMBR3) Phenom 300 series is once again the world’s best-selling, most delivered light jet for the 13^th consecutive year, according to data released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). The data also confirmed the light jet as the most delivered twin-engine jet for the fifth year in a row. To achieve this distinction, the company delivered 65 Phenom 300 series aircraft throughout 2024, ending the year with the industry’s highest book-to-bill.

With more than 830 deliveries worldwide, operations in 40 countries and over 2.5 million flight hours, the Phenom 300 series, certified for single-pilot operation, is known for its best-in-class capabilities, delivering the most value, reliability and utilization to its loyal customers globally. Maintaining the highest residual value in the industry, the platform is a testament to Embraer’s commitment to efficiency, innovation and engineering excellence.

“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 as reflected in our recent results. These latest GAMA figures are the perfect complement to the company’s success and solidify our industry-leading position,” said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “The Phenom 300 series remains the benchmark for excellence in its category, combining unmatched performance, disruptive technology, superior comfort, and reliable support. We are proud to see these consistent strengths recognized once again and look forward to welcoming many more customers to the ultimate experience in business aviation.”

The Phenom 300E, the fastest light jet in production, has a high-speed cruise of 464 knots and a five-occupant range of 2,010 nautical miles (3,724 km) with NBAA IFR reserves. The aircraft features advanced avionics, including a Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS)—the first to be developed and certified in business aviation—as well as autothrottle, coupled go-around, Emergency Descent Mode (EDM), and more.

Looking beyond the light jet segment, the data released by GAMA indicates increased market adoption for the company’s medium cabin aircraft. The Praetor 500 now captures over 40 percent of the midsize market share, while deliveries of the Praetor jet family grew by 34 percent year-over-year, highlighting both the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 aircraft’s popularity among corporate flight departments and fleet operations.

The Phenom 300E is the fastest single-pilot jet, with a high-speed cruise of 464 knots and a five-occupant range of 2,010 nautical miles (3,724 km) with NBAA IFR reserves. With its class’s best climb, the Phenom 300E costs less to operate and maintain than its peers.

It is also the first and only to offer Embraer’s Runway Overrun and Awareness Alerting System (ROAAS), and also features autothrottle, both of which reduce workload. The aircraft features carried from a class above include single-point refueling, an externally serviced lavatory, and an airstair.

Additionally, the Phenom 300E offers a spacious cabin with the Embraer DNA Design and a baggage compartment among the largest in its category. The largest windows in the class deliver abundant natural lighting in the cabin as well as in the private lavatory. The comfort of the seats, with reclining and full movement capability, is enhanced by the best pressurization among light jets (6,600 ft. maximum cabin altitude). The Phenom 300E features distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, a wardrobe and refreshment center, voice and data communications options, and an entertainment system.
