A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the light jet class.
EMBRAER
The Embraer Phenom 300E has been the world's most-delivered light jet for over a decade. Designed in collaboration with BMW Designworks, it offers the largest cabin, longest range and fastest cruise speed in its class — a genuine alternative to entry-level midsize aircraft at light-jet rates.

The Bombardier Learjet 75 Liberty carries the most iconic name in business aviation. Its eight-seat double-club cabin, class-leading speed and proven reliability make it a favourite for European and transcontinental US missions.

EXPERT VERDICT
The Phenom 300E pulls ahead on cabin comfort and airport access; the Learjet 75 Liberty answers with range / non-stop reach and speed & block time. Both sit in the light jet class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.
Range / non-stop reach
Learjet 75 Liberty
2,040 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
Cabin comfort
Phenom 300E
Taller and/or wider cabin (4'11" × 5'2") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.
Group capacity
Even
Matched specifications.
Airport access
Phenom 300E
Shorter 3,209 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.
Speed & block time
Learjet 75 Liberty
Cruise of Mach 0.81 — shaves meaningful minutes off every long leg.
