A super light jet gives Aruba travelers a little more cabin and range than a light jet, which helps on the longer run from the East Coast.
Embraer introduced the Phenom 300 in 2009. It seats 6 to 8 with a published range of 1,971 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 453 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, 76 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Embraer Phenom 300 Fits Aruba
With 1,971 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips between Aruba and destinations such as San Juan, Palm Beach and Atlanta, allowing for reserves and routing. Every trip to Aruba is international, so each passenger needs a valid passport and completes Aruba’s online ED card before traveling.
Aruba trips in this class usually start in South Florida, the Southeast or the New York area, and they land at Queen Beatrix International in Oranjestad, which is closed to private flights between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and your advisor confirms it with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Aruba Clients Use the Embraer Phenom 300
Super light jets suit Aruba trips that sit just past a light jet’s comfort zone, such as a full cabin from the Southeast with a week’s worth of luggage.
For an Aruba trip, the Phenom 300 sits between a light jet and a midsize jet. It has an enclosed lavatory and 76 cubic feet of baggage space, enough for a week on the island for a small family. Dive gear and golf bags take more room than people expect, so tell us early if the group is close to six with heavy bags, and we will compare it with a midsize jet before you decide. From South Florida it is one of the aircraft your advisor will often put in the first set of options, and from farther north we will check whether the trip needs a fuel stop.
Tell us where you are flying from, who is coming and what they are packing, dive gear and golf clubs included, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft fits or suggest one that suits the trip better.
