Embraer updated its Phenom 300 in
2017, adding elements first introduced
on the Legacy 500 and 450. The first
Phenom 300E entered service in March
2018. The standard layout features six
seats – a club four and two back-row
seats. Customers can boost capacity to
11 passengers by opting for a twoperson
divan in the entrance area and
a belted lavatory . Or they can use the
entrance space to add a seventh cabin
seat plus a refreshment centre, or extra
storage space. Other options include
an IFE system.
The lavatory is fully enclosed and
externally serviced; this space also
features two large windows for natural
light and an optional sink and mirror.
“The variety of personalisation
options allows the interchange of all
the materials,” says Jay Beever, vice
president of interior design at Embraer
Executive Jets. “Customers can select
bespoke options, such as special sew
styles for seating, Lufthansa Technik’s
nice HD and the industry-exclusive
Upper Tech Panel along the ceiling with
touch-sensitive cabin controls and
swing and swivel LCD screens for videoon
demand viewing. The two-person
divan is a popular bespoke feature as it
adds an extra environment in the cabin.”
