Embraer delivered the 600th jet of the Phenom 300 series to Superior Capital Holdings, LLC based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The aircraft, which recently became the world’s best-selling light aircraft for the ninth year in a row and the most delivered twin-engine of 2020, will be used to support the company’s business operations across the United States.
“We are honored to reach this milestone as the popularity and continued success of the Phenom 300 series is a direct reflection of our commitment to provide the best customer experience in commercial aviation,” said Michael Amalfitano, President and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “This best-in-class aircraft continues to outperform the light aircraft segment with its speed, range, comfort and technology that solidify the Phenom 300 series’ world leading position in the industry.”
Superior Capital Holdings previously operated a single-engine turboprop, but after experiencing a flight in the Phenom 300, it decided that the aircraft was the best option for its business. The customer, who is purchasing a jet for the first time, upgraded it based on the need for more cabin comfort, greater speed and exceptional safety, as many of their trips involve routes of more than 1,000 nautical miles.
Since its begining on the market, the Phenom 300 series has grown more than 7% per year. The Phenom 300 remains the best-selling light aircraft in the charter and fractional ownership segments.
