EMBRAER
PHENOM 100

The Embraer Phenom 100 is an entry level business jet manufactured by Embraer, the Brazilian aerospace company. It is the smallest in the Phenom series (its big brother is the Phenom 300), designed to offer a combination of performance,  fuel efficiency, and comfort, in a compact and cost-effective package.

​

The Phenom 100, which was first introduced in July 2007, is known for its sleek and modern design, featuring a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to 5 passengers. Designed by BMW, the interior is intelligently designed, offering ergonomic seating, ample legroom, and large windows that allow for good levels of natural light. The Phenom 100 private jet baggage hold is also impressive, ensuring ample storage for your luggage.

​

If you are familiar with the Phenom 300, could the Phenom 100 be the better option? Well the cross sections are almost identical and if travelling alone or as a couple for short sectors, it should be a more economical option for sure, and over the course of 25 hours could bring your annual travel operating costs down notably. Although one limiting factor could be its total take-off weight vs range, so as a loose example, anything greater than 1.5 hours and travelling with 4 of you may have weight limitations applied to your flight. 

 

Overall, the Embraer Phenom 100 is a popular choice of aircraft as it offers a great balance of performance, comfort, and operational efficiency in the light business jet category. If you are looking for that short hour flight and want a little more headroom, most light Cessna Citations is also worth shortlisting.
