Hogani Jets coordinates Embraer Phenom 100 charter flights through licensed Part 135 operators, matching this roomy very light jet to short and medium regional trips. The Phenom 100 is one of the most popular entry jets in private aviation, known for the largest cabin width and height in its class, a clean-sheet Embraer design, and a BMW-styled interior with an enclosed lavatory that is rare for a very light jet. Manufactured by Embraer of Brazil, it seats up to 5 passengers with a range of 1,356 miles (1,178 nm) and a cruise speed of 437 mph (380 ktas). Phenom 100 charter rates run $1,600–$2,800 per flight hour, the standard very light jet band, with one-way trip pricing from roughly $5,000 to $11,000 depending on route. Its strengths are a roomy cabin, jet speed, a 41,000-foot ceiling above weather, and short-field access, not long range. The Phenom 100 suits travelers who want the most cabin space and comfort in an entry jet for shorter trips. For more range or seats, a light jet is the step up.

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 up to five passengers 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 five 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.

Note: Baggage note for the Phenom 100: The 53 cubic foot capacity across two compartments is generous for a very light jet and handles luggage for five passengers, including golf bags and skis. The enclosed lavatory adds comfort that most rivals lack.

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

Route	ICAO Codes	Est. Time	Notes
New York to West Palm Beach	KTEB to KDJT	~2h 30m	Popular East Coast run within range.
Los Angeles to Dallas	KVNY to KDAL	~3h	Long leg near the range limit.
Chicago to New York	KPWK to KTEB	~1h 50m	Fast business hop.
Los Angeles to Denver	KVNY to KAPA	~2h	Western regional run.
Miami to the Bahamas	KOPF to MYEH	~50m	Quick island hop.

Note: The Phenom 100's 1,178 nm range covers most regional routes for up to five passengers. For longer legs or more seats, a light jet such as the Citation CJ2 or Phenom 300 is the better fit.

Phenom 100 charter rates run $1,600–$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.
