FLEXJET PHENOM 300 VS. NETJETS PHENOM 300

Born to perform, the venerable Phenom 300 is one of the world’s fastest, most efficient and longest-range light-cabin aircraft. While some of our competitors also fly the popular Phenom 300, Flexjet aircraft have a pair of critical advantages that set them apart. For one, all Flexjet Phenom 300 aircraft feature seven-passenger seating, while others only provide room for six. Flexjet also customizes its cabin layouts for maximum mobility and thoughtful ergonomics. Each is adorned with a luxurious customized interior belonging to our LXi Cabin Collection™ that places the unmistakable bow atop this highly capable performance package.

WHY FLY ON THE PHENOM 300 FROM FLEXJET?

Perfect for quick domestic trips and up to seven passengers, light-cabin aircraft will transport you swiftly and efficiently while delivering an exceptional travel experience.

PERFORMANCE

Fast and versatile, the Phenom 300 is unrivaled in its performance and economy. At 45,000 feet, you will be high above airliners and inclement weather on direct routes, and you will be able to land on short 3,500-foot runways that would challenge other aircraft.

CABIN COMFORT

The Flexjet Phenom 300 showcases multiple luxurious handcrafted interior designs for supreme cabin comfort and styling. And thanks to the best pressurization system of all light jets, cabin altitude never exceeds 6,600 feet above sea level, meaning you will arrive refreshed and ready to hit the ground running.

PRAETOR 500 VS. CITATION LATITUDE

The evolution of the acclaimed Legacy 450, the Praetor 500 offers a long list of features you won’t find on the Citation Latitude, starting with fly-by-wire technology that delivers an incredibly smooth and comfortable in-flight cabin experience.

With room for eight, the Praetor 500 surpasses the Citation Latitude’s sevenpassenger capacity while providing more headroom, legroom and elbow room. This is due in part to the Praetor 500’s flat-floor and stand-up cabin as opposed to the Citation Latitude’s canted floor and concave ceiling. You will also find wider, fully berthable seats that, unlike those found in the Citation Latitude, include armrests.

MIDSIZE

Midsize aircraft are designed for travel requiring cross-country reach and space to comfortably serve up to eight with features like generous luggage capacity and increased cabin height.

FACT

Fly-By-Wire technology replaces the manual controls in the cockpit with a modern electronic system for a far smoother flight.

LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND

When it comes to storage, the Praetor 500 gives you an incredible 50-cubic-feet of extra luggage capacity compared to the Citation Latitude, letting you bring what you need, no matter the occasion. What’s more, a class-leading cabin altitude of 5,800 feet, plus more head and legroom than the Citation Latitude, will leave you feeling energized and refreshed, even after hours in the sky.

PERFORMANCE

Although both the Praetor 500 and Citation Latitude share the same seven-hour endurance rating, the performance similarities end there.

Over the course of those seven hours, a Praetor 500 can take you up to 640 nautical miles farther than the Citation Latitude. This is partially the result of the Praetor 500’s new winglets and extra fuel tanks, along with its ability to cruise at 466 knots versus the Citation Latitude’s 430-knot cruising speed. Plus, the Praetor 500’s time-to-climb is quicker than what the Citation Latitude can achieve by a full five minutes.

Combine all of this with leading-edge fly-by-wire technology that gives your pilots maximum control while minimizing turbulence, and you have a midsize jet capable of very big things.

CABIN COMFORT

In addition to style, performance, and space, the Praetor 500 presents you with a long list of amenities designed to take your in-cabin experience to the next level.

Fully berthable seating and a whisper-silent cabin turn a space perfect for conversation and productivity into a restful oasis. Enjoy an ideal view of the friendly skies from the largest windows in the midsize category before getting to work using stowable workstations that open flush with the side ledge. A secure Wi-Fi® connection teams with data ports and several power outlets. Also accessible from your seat is an intuitive technology panel that enables you to check your flight status, control ambient lighting and more.

CABIN COMFORT

Boasting the widest cabin in the super-midsize segment, the Challenger’s interior is also taller and longer than that found in the Longitude. It also delivers more headroom than the Citation Longitude, made possible by a flat floor and streamlined sidewalls as opposed to the Citation Longitude’s canted floor and concave ceiling. Deep seating and flush air ducts help to provide more legroom, as well. Plus, the Challenger’s generous storage compartment is fully accessible during flight, allowing you to bring and retrieve exactly what you need. Prefer natural light?

The evolution of the acclaimed Legacy 500 lineage, the Praetor 600 offers a long list of features you won’t find on the Citation Longitude, starting with fly-by-wire technology that delivers an incredibly smooth and comfortable ride when paired with its productively hushed in-flight experience.

With room for up to nine, the Praetor 600 surpasses the Citation Longitude’s eight-passenger capacity while still providing substantial headroom, legroom, and elbow room. This is due in part to the Praetor 600’s flat-floor and stand-up cabin as opposed to the Citation Longitude canted floor and concave ceiling. You will also find wider, fully berthable seats that, unlike those found in the Citation Longitude, include armrests.

FURTHER MARKS OF DISTINCTION

NON-UNIONIZED PILOTS

A CLASS OF THEIR OWN

Flexjet pilots are the industry’s only non-union aviators, benefitting them and our aircraft Owners. Flexjet pilots choose to be managed by trust, not a collective bargaining agreement. This unprecedented decision has allowed us to bring them into the fold to actively participate in our service culture.

An unexpected bonus to this relationship is that our pilots are ultimately happier and more in control of their careers than their unionized colleagues — and it shows. This direct relationship with our pilot team also gives us the ability to fully realize our dedicated crewing model, which no other company can provide due to the restrictions associated with a unionized pilot workforce.

COMPANY CULTURE

A FAMILY THAT ASCENDS TOGETHER

Our industry-wide reputation is built on fundamental attention to detail, a long-term approach to relationships and a sincere belief that employees are the foundation of our service company. These principles allow us to attract and retain the industry’s brightest by helping to make Flexjet an excellent place to work — a place where people want to give their best.

Transparency and open communication from the top down ensures a culture of security and certainty. We aim to create an atmosphere where every team member feels that they matter and that they are heard. Our leadership team makes itself visible and accessible, and our employees consistently demonstrate our values at every level of our organization.

Flexjet has built a strong infrastructure that supports employee growth, validating our commitment to professional development while fostering a strong sense of community.

SUSTAINABILITY

A FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

While there is a long way yet to travel, we understand that the future of our shared planet — as well as the long-term success of our operation — depends on a relentless pursuit of total sustainability.

Every flight hour flown by Flexjet has its carbon offset at a minimum of 100%. Verified carbon offset credits are supporting innovative clean energy projects in nations ranging from the U.S. to the Congo to India. We are playing a meaningful role in moving our industry beyond just carbon offsetting to achieving actual carbon emissions reductions. Today, this can best be achieved via the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Flexjet is helping to drive the proliferation of SAF through collaboration with green crude producers and our sustainability partner 4AIR.
