About this aircraft

The Phenom 300E is the most-delivered business jet in the world for over a decade — and for good reason. Mach 0.80 cruise speed (faster than most midsize jets), a 2,010 nm range that covers Zürich to Mykonos non-stop, a cabin that fits six adults comfortably plus crew jump seat. The 2020 'E' refresh added the Bossa Nova interior, full-cabin tablet control, and a refined galley. The Aurelius office books the Phenom 300E more than any other type for the summer Med rotation.

Highlights

  • Mach 0.80 cruise — faster than many midsize jets
  • Range covers Zürich-Mykonos non-stop
  • Single-pilot certified (charter runs two)
  • Most-delivered business jet 10+ years running
  • 2020 'E' refresh — Bossa Nova interior

Typical routes

Where the office books this aircraft.

Zürich → Ibiza

1h 50min

850 nm · Summer (May–Oct)

The single most-booked route from Zürich in summer. Direct to LEIB; door-to-door under three hours including ground time. The Phenom 300E and Citation CJ3+ cover this comfortably.

Zürich → Olbia (Sardinia)

1h 30min

600 nm · Summer (Jun–Sep)

Costa Smeralda season. LIEO Olbia is a 20-minute drive from Porto Cervo. Light jets connect Zürich-Olbia in 90 minutes; the season slot pressure makes early booking essential.

Zürich → Mykonos

2h 40min

1,300 nm · Summer (Jun–Sep)

Mykonos JMK has notoriously short slot availability in August — typical aircraft slots are 90-minute windows. Most operators recommend a midsize jet for the additional flexibility.

Geneva → Mallorca

1h 50min

800 nm · Summer (May–Oct)

Palma's general-aviation terminal is well-handled; ground time typically 20 minutes either side. A Phenom 300E or Citation CJ3+ covers Geneva-Palma in under two hours.

Zürich → Cannes (Mandelieu)

1h 10min

500 nm · Year-round (peak May–Sep)

LFMD Mandelieu is a short runway closer to Cannes Croisette than Nice (LFMN). Peer light jets handle it well; the Pilatus PC-24 is favoured when the wind direction restricts approach options.
