Embraer’s Phenom 300 series named world’s best-selling, most delivered, light jet for 13th consecutive year

Melbourne, Florida – February 19, 2025:

Embraer’s Phenom 300 series has been named as world’s best-selling, most delivered light jet for the 13th 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.”

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.
