Embraer Phenom 100

The Embraer Phenom 100 entered service in 2008 as Embraer's clean-sheet entry into the very light jet class, and it quickly became one of the most popular entry jets in private aviation. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F engines and the Garmin-based Prodigy flight deck, it pairs jet speed and a 41,000-foot ceiling with the largest cabin width and height in its class, designed in collaboration with BMW Group Designworks. Unusually for a very light jet, it includes a fully enclosed lavatory. Later 100E and 100EV versions added performance and avionics upgrades. It remains a benchmark for cabin comfort and value among entry jets.

The Phenom 100 is a very light jet, or VLJ, the entry point to jet travel. Very light jets are the smallest and lightest jets, typically seating four to five passengers, often single-pilot certified, and designed for short to medium trips. They are a clear step up from turboprops in speed, altitude, and the smoothness of jet travel, and a step below light jets in cabin size and range. The Phenom 100 stands out in this class for having the most cabin space.

• Entry to jets: a VLJ is the most affordable way into a jet cabin, with real jet speed and a 41,000-foot ceiling above most weather.
• Step up from a turboprop: the Phenom 100 cruises at 380 ktas, well above turboprop speeds, in a quiet, smooth jet.
• Step below a light jet: it seats four with a shorter range, so for larger groups or longer trips a light jet such as the Citation CJ2 is the better fit.
• Best mission: short and medium regional trips for up to four passengers who want jet speed and the roomiest entry-jet cabin.

The Phenom 100 has the largest cabin width and height in the very light jet class, designed with BMW Group Designworks, seating up to 5 in a bright, comfortable interior. It is one of the few entry jets with a fully enclosed lavatory, a meaningful comfort advantage on longer legs.

• The club cabin seats up to 4, with each seat featuring a laptop power port, in the widest and tallest cabin in the class.
• Large windows flood the cabin with natural light, and a fully enclosed lavatory with a solid door is rare for a very light jet.
• Baggage capacity of 53 cubic feet across forward and aft compartments is generous for the class, with room for golf bags and skis.
• One of the largest entrance doors in the class, with an airstair, makes boarding easy. Confirm specific amenities at booking.

The Phenom 100 performs well on short and medium regional routes within its 1,178nm range. These represent its most common charter missions.

Phenom 100 charter rates run $1,600 to $2,800 per flight hour, the standard very light jet band and strong value for the roomiest entry-jet cabin. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand. For a current Phenom 100 quote, contact Hogani Jets at charter@hoganijets.com or +1-855-660-0573.
