Embraer Phenom 100.

When efficiency and style matter as much as speed, an Embraer Phenom 100 charter delivers an exceptional proposition for small groups and solo travellers seeking a smart, capable Very Light Jet. Developed by Brazilian aerospace leader Embraer, the Phenom 100 impresses with a cruise speed of 390 kts and a range stretching to 1,178 nm — remarkable performance for an aircraft in its class. Its twin Pratt & Whitney PW617F engines and aerodynamically refined airframe make it one of the most fuel-efficient and cost-effective options available through Prime Jet Services, without compromising on the premium experience you expect.

History & Development

The Embraer Phenom 100 was conceived as part of Embraer’s ambitious push into the business aviation market in the mid-2000s, formally launched at the 2005 National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention. Designed to bring genuine jet performance and cabin comfort to the Very Light Jet segment — an emerging category at the time — the aircraft received FAA and EASA type certification in 2008 and entered service the same year. It quickly became one of the best-selling very light jets in the world, praised by operators and pilots alike for its advanced Prodigy flight deck, derived from Embraer’s larger commercial aircraft programmes. The Phenom 100 effectively redefined buyer expectations in its category, establishing a benchmark for build quality, avionics sophistication, and cabin refinement that competitors scrambled to match.

Cabin & Comfort

The Phenom 100 accommodates up to four passengers in a thoughtfully arranged club-style cabin, with individual seats offering genuine personal space despite the aircraft’s compact external dimensions. A cabin height of 1.45 m and width of 1.52 m create an environment that feels notably more generous than many rival very light jets, and the aircraft’s advanced soundproofing results in a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere at cruise altitude. The rear-mounted baggage compartment, accessible in flight, provides 35 cu ft of storage for weekend luggage or business essentials, while a forward galley area allows for light refreshments to be prepared and served on board. A private lavatory at the rear of the cabin rounds out the amenities, ensuring passengers enjoy a complete, self-contained flying experience on every sector.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a range of 1,178 nm, the Phenom 100 is perfectly suited to popular short-haul routes from Dubai, connecting the UAE to key regional destinations with ease. Typical routings include Dubai to Muscat (approximately 45 minutes), Dubai to Riyadh (around 1 hour 20 minutes), and Dubai to Kuwait City (roughly 1 hour 30 minutes) — all well within the aircraft’s comfortable range envelope. Tbilisi in Georgia also falls within reach at approximately 1,100 nm, making the Phenom 100 an excellent choice for regional business trips and leisure escapes across the Gulf, Levant, and southern Caucasus.

Compare Similar Aircraft

Clients chartering a very light jet often explore adjacent options depending on group size, range requirements, or cabin preferences. Aircraft commonly compared to the Phenom 100 include the Phenom 300E — the natural step-up within the same family offering greater range and cabin volume — as well as the turboprop-powered King Air 350, which appeals to those prioritising payload and short-field versatility over pure jet performance.
