For the ninth consecutive year, the Embraer Phenom 300 has become the best-selling business jet in the world after the delivery of the 600th unit. The plane also has the most delivered twin-engine jet title of 2020, based on billing and shipment reports for year-end aircraft from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).

Its cruising speed is 469 knots (859 km / h) and the range is 2,010 nautical miles (3724 km) with five occupants.

The jet also has improved passenger comfort, with seats that recline and move in all directions and better cabin pressurization between the same size jets. The comfort for the pilots was also thought out. The plane has longer rails for seating in the cabin, giving pilots more legroom and comfort.

Before the Embraer jet, Superior Capital Holdings, LLC, operated a single-engine turboprop, but realized that the Phenom300E was the best choice for its business. This is the first jet of the model for this customer, who carried out a modification in the aircraft cabin based on the need for greater cabin comfort, greater speed and safety, since his trips include long-distance routes.
The Phenom 300 series was launched in 2005 and is in operation in more than 35 countries. The relatively new plane already has more than 1.2 million flight hours.
