The University of Notre Dame, a prominent Catholic research institution established in 1842 and based in South Bend, Indiana, operates two Embraer Phenom 300 business jets.

One of these jets is an older model registered as N324FL. Manufactured in 2012 with a serial number of 50500075, it is owned by the University of Notre Dame. "So far, in 2024, the aircraft has flown over 175 total flights," accumulating more than "225 total flight hours." This jet frequently visits South Bend Regional Airport (SBN), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).

The newer jet, registered as N385FX and manufactured in 2021 with a serial number of 50500630, is also owned by the university. It has conducted "a total of 739 flights" this year, totaling over "990 flight hours."
