Phenom 300 Series: The Highest Residual Value of Any Light Jet

Published

The Phenom 300 series is a true force to be reckoned with. This aircraft is the product of boundless imagination, intelligent engineering and bold ambition.

As it opens a world of possibilities, the Phenom 300E takes you farther, faster and to more places worldwide than any other light jet.

Embraer announced in January the new, enhanced Phenom 300E. The best-selling light jet for eight years running received updates and enhancements to its already class-leading performance, comfort, and technology.

Here’s a quick overview of some of its top benefits:

Fastest single-pilot jet capable of reaching Mach 0.80
One of the longest-ranged single-pilot jets with 2,010 nm, carrying up to five occupants nonstop from Los Angeles to Orlando, Miami to Telluride
The first and only business jet to have a runway overrun awareness and alerting system, which acts as an additional pilot, providing a warning if the runway approach is too steep or fast
Superior comfort from recent noise-reduction improvements in the cabin, lavatory, and upon entering the jet
Enhanced pilot comfort with seats that track back approximately 40% more than before, providing more legroom for the pilots

Best Residual Value of Any Light Jet

The Phenom 300 series aircraft outperform all other light business jets in how well they hold residual value, according to Vref (June 2020). On average, a five year old Phenom 300 holds 75% of its list price, compared to 68% for the next closest business jet within the light jet category.

A Phenom 300 series aircraft has the highest residual value of any light jet for three reasons. First, because of its technology. Phenom 300 series aircraft are 21st-century, clean-sheet designs with unprecedented technological innovation.

Secondly, the fact that the aircraft holds residual value so well is a reflection on its performance. The jet delivers enviable speed, range and runway performance — as well as low operating costs and airline-like dispatch reliability.

Thirdly, the jet holds residual value so well because of the demand for this plane. As the most successful business jet of the past decade and the best-selling light jet for the past eight years straight, Phenom 300 series aircraft are in demand even on the pre-flown market.

These three factors are just a few of the contributing reasons that the Phenom 300 series has the highest residual value of any light business jet.
