The Embraer Phenom 300 Empty Leg Map: 19,982 Legs and Where They Fly

Updated September 29, 2026: counts now exclude exact duplicate copies of the same leg and deleted, withdrawn or cancelled listings, and the rolling 12-month window now ends September 28, 2026. An earlier version counted duplicate copies separately, which overstated the totals and placed the Bombardier Learjet 75 among the most-listed light jets. The figures below reflect that correction.

The Embraer Phenom 300 logged 19,982 unique empty legs on SkyAccess in the 12 months to September 28, 2026, making it the single most-listed light jet on the platform. Operators repositioned this aircraft from 1,173 distinct airports spanning 333 geographic regions. With up to 10 seats, a 1,800-nautical-mile normal range, and an average of 7.6 available passenger seats per leg, it is also one of the largest sources of discounted one-way flights on SkyAccess among aircraft of any size. You can browse current listings at SkyAccess empty leg flights.

What makes the Phenom 300 an empty-leg workhorse

At 1,800 nautical miles of normal range, the Phenom 300 can fly Miami to Denver or New York to Dallas non-stop. That is well beyond the 1,075-nautical-mile normal range SkyAccess aircraft data lists for the Cessna Citation CJ2, another of the most-listed light jets, so operators can use the Phenom 300 on longer non-stop trips than the CJ2 can fly.

Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations governs on-demand commercial charter, and the Phenom 300 has strong economics under that standard: low fuel burn relative to its passenger capacity, straightforward single-pilot certification, and high utilization rates. When a charter client finishes a trip, the aircraft must reposition, and that return or repositioning flight is the empty leg. According to SkyAccess data, no other light jet on the marketplace repositions at this volume.

The numbers: 19,982 legs across 1,173 airports

SkyAccess recorded 19,982 unique Phenom 300 empty legs departing from 1,173 distinct airports between September 29, 2025 and September 28, 2026. This is a cumulative count over that 12-month window, not a live-inventory snapshot. The busiest single origin is Fort Lauderdale (KFLL) with 605 unique legs, followed by Naples, Florida (KAPF) with 488 and Nice, France (LFMN) with 382.

Phenom 300 departures appear on every day of the window, confirming year-round availability. May is the busiest month in the dataset, with 2,700 unique legs, followed by April (2,671) and March (2,441). The 333 distinct origin regions confirm this is not a regional aircraft. It is a nationwide repositioning workhorse with a large international presence as well: 8,001 of the legs, about 40 percent, departed from airports outside the United States and its territories, and origins span 76 countries and territories.

For comparison: the next two most-listed light jets on SkyAccess are the Cessna Citation CJ3 at 13,945 unique legs and the Cessna Citation CJ2 at 12,109. The Phenom 300’s 19,982-leg total is more than 40 percent higher than the CJ3 and more than 60 percent higher than the CJ2. Across every jet model on SkyAccess, including midsize and super-midsize jets, the Phenom 300 ranks fourth by unique empty legs, behind the Bombardier Learjet 60, the Cessna Citation X and the Cessna Citation XLS.

What empty-leg pricing looks like on this aircraft

Phenom 300 empty legs on SkyAccess are typically priced 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter for the same route and aircraft. The discount range is wide because pricing depends on repositioning urgency, lead time, and route length.

Every Phenom 300 on the platform is flown by one of the 900+ FAA Part 135 (and international equivalent) certified charter operators on SkyAccess, meeting the same safety, maintenance, and crew training standards as a standard charter booking. Pricing on SkyAccess covers the whole aircraft (operator fee and marketplace fee), taxes and fees are shown at checkout, and no membership or subscription is required. The Appleton International Airport (KATW) airport page covers the eighth-busiest Phenom 300 origin on SkyAccess, with 269 unique legs to 115 destination airports. Its most frequent Phenom 300 destination is Naples, Florida, and the Appleton to Marco Island route page covers a nearby Southwest Florida run.

How to find listings

On SkyAccess, filtering by light jet category and then by the Phenom 300 model is the fastest path to current listings. Because this aircraft departs from 1,173 airports, setting an alert by origin region rather than a single airport returns significantly more matching flights. SkyAccess, the empty leg marketplace, allows users to save searches and receive notifications when new matching legs are posted, particularly useful for an aircraft that generates this volume of repositioning traffic daily.
