Embraer’s Phenom 300 series is once again the world's best-selling, most delivered light jet for the 13th consecutive year, according to data released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). The data also confirmed the light jet as the most delivered twin-engine jet for the fifth year in a row.
