Our read

What it does well, and what it costs you.

What it does well

  • Best-in-class baggage volume for a light jet
  • Airstair door and a genuinely quiet cabin
  • Reaches 45,000 ft, above most weather and traffic

The trade-off

Full fuel eats into payload — a full cabin plus heavy bags may mean a fuel stop.

We publish the downside because you would find it anyway, and because we do not own this aircraft — there is no reason for us to oversell it.

Range in practice

Where a Embraer Phenom 300 will take you nonstop.

Great-circle distances with block times computed from this aircraft's 464 kt cruise plus a taxi allowance.

Runway

Where it can land.

The Embraer Phenom 300 needs about 3,699 ft at sea level, which clears 2,699 of the 2,746 US fields we publish. Thin air needs more of it — roughly 3% per 1,000 ft of elevation — so the demanding fields below are worked out at their own altitude, not at sea level.

Indicative, and not a performance calculation. Real balanced field length depends on temperature, weight, runway slope and the day — and it is the operator who signs for it. Treat this as the question to ask, not the answer.

Questions

Embraer Phenom 300, answered

How many passengers does the Embraer Phenom 300 carry?

Typically 6–8 in a charter configuration. Exact seating varies by operator, since interiors differ between individual aircraft — we confirm the layout of the specific tail before you accept a quote.

What is the range of the Embraer Phenom 300?

Published range is about 2,010 nautical miles at 464 knots. Real-world range is lower with a full cabin, strong headwinds or hot-and-high departures, which is exactly the kind of thing we check before proposing it for your trip.

What runway does the Embraer Phenom 300 need?

Around 3,699 ft at sea level on a standard day near maximum weight. Altitude, temperature and weight change this significantly — the operator's performance data is what governs whether it can use your airport.

How much does it cost to charter a Embraer Phenom 300?

We publish an indicative market range for this cabin class ($2,500–$4,500 per hour) so you can size the trip, not a firm rate for this aircraft — the real number depends on where the aircraft is positioned, the season and the airports, which is why we source your specific trip. Altessair adds a disclosed brokerage fee to the operator's price, shown as a separate line on every quote.
