Phenom 300E Operating Costs

Operating the Embraer Phenom 300E involves both fixed and variable costs that owners should carefully consider. Annual fixed expenses—including crew salaries, hangar fees, insurance, and other miscellaneous costs—total approximately $367,000. Variable costs, encompassing fuel, maintenance, and other operational expenses, amount to about $1,670 per flight hour. Assuming an annual utilization of 300 flight hours—comprising 200 personal hours and 100 charter hours—the total operating cost is approximately $702,000 per year. By chartering the aircraft for 100 hours annually at an average rate of $4,300 per hour, owners can generate approximately $263,000 in revenue. This strategy enhances the cost-effectiveness of owning a Phenom 300E.
