The Phenom 100EV, introduced in 2016, added more powerful engines and Garmin G3000 touchscreen avionics to the proven Phenom 100. It brought modern cockpit technology to the entry-level class.
The Embraer Phenom 100EV cruises around 406 knots near Mach 0.71, and on a busy light jet charter that pace routinely saves an hour or more against slower types, time returned at both ends of the day. High cruise also lets the crew climb above weather and airline traffic for a smoother ride. Speed is the one luxury nobody can refund once a day is spent, and the aircraft protects it.
On value the Embraer Phenom 100EV makes a strong case, turning modest operating costs into a lower hourly rate than clients expect for this much aircraft. Empty-leg and off-peak availability can drop the price further when the diary allows. Pound for pound, the type is hard to argue with on a charter budget.
A fact that flatters the type: The 100EV added Garmin G3000 touchscreen avionics and more thrust to the proven Phenom 100, modern glass on an entry jet with airliner-grade cabin design. Small wonder it remains a favourite on charter fleets.
Cabin comfort is where the Embraer Phenom 100EV earns its keep on charter, offering up to 7 seats, 53 cubic feet of baggage and the flexibility to lay the interior out around the trip rather than the other way round. A flat, quiet floor measuring 5 ft 1 in wide by 11 ft 0 in long means you can work, meet or sleep without the compromises of a scheduled cabin. It is the sort of space that turns a long day into a productive one.
Reliability is why we place clients on the Embraer Phenom 100EV: powered by 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F1-E (1,730 lbf each), it is a mature, well-supported design, and the smoothest charter is always the one that leaves on schedule. Redundant systems and a deep global spares network keep aircraft-on-ground surprises rare. When a trip has to happen, the aircraft is the sort of aircraft you bet on.
Avionics matter more than passengers realise, and the Embraer Phenom 100EV is well found, with Garmin G3000 (Prodigy Touch) giving the crew the tools for confident approaches into short, high or busy airports. Automation trims workload, and a rested crew flies a smoother, more punctual charter. That margin is part of why the aircraft dispatches so reliably.
Disadvantages of the Embraer Phenom 100EV as a charter aircraft, and how we weigh them:
The Embraer Phenom 100EV is honest about distance: near 1178 nautical miles it is superb across its home region, but the longest intercontinental legs call for a bigger tank, and on those we will match you to a larger jet rather than sell you a fuel stop.
No single aircraft wins on every count, and the Embraer Phenom 100EV trades a little of one virtue for a lot of another; the trick is matching that trade to your actual route and party, which is exactly what we do.
As alternatives to the Embraer Phenom 100EV, it is worth weighing the Embraer Phenom 100E and the Embraer Phenom 300, both able aircraft in the same bracket. Broadly the Embraer Phenom 100E offers the newer cabin, while the Embraer Phenom 100EV has the stronger short-field manners, so the right pick comes down to your exact route, party and budget, which our advisors are glad to lay out side by side.
The bottom line is that the Embraer Phenom 100EV is a superb choice for short-haul and regional charter, pairing a comfortable cabin with dependable performance for travellers who value their time.
