Phenom 300 Q1 Active Fleet Crashes 23.3% but Flight Volume Grows +5.7% — Per-Aircraft Utilization Soars 37.8% Revealing Pre-Owned Market Supply Tightening

Embraer Phenom 300 global active fleet shrank sharply from 751 (Q1 2025) to 576 (Q1 2026) (−23.3%), but flight volume grew to 57,635 (+5.7%) — per-aircraft quarterly flights jumped from 72.6 to 100.1; utilization surged +37.8%. This rare 'fleet shrinkage + flight growth' divergence indicates: substantial Phenom 300 aircraft exited active operation (possibly into maintenance, storage, or transaction transition), while market demand remains strong — the in-service fleet is forced to bear higher flight intensity. For brokers, Phenom 300 pre-owned supply is tightening; charter pricing power tilts toward operators. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data clear; exit reasons pending cross-verification).
