Specifications
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.

Typical routes
Where the office books this aircraft.
Zürich → Ibiza
1h 50min850 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 30min600 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 40min1,300 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 50min800 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 10min500 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.
