The Phenom 100 family is an entry-level twinjet with a notably wide and tall cabin cross-section for its size, large windows and practical regional performance. It can be a strong charter fit for a small party, but original 100, EV and current EX aircraft differ in avionics, engines, seating details and amenities.
Why the Phenom 100 remains a charter consideration
Embraer placed the first Phenom 100 into service in 2008 and progressively developed the 100E, 100EV and 100EX. The latest EX adds a redesigned cabin and Garmin G3000-based Prodigy Touch avionics, while hundreds of earlier aircraft remain in operation; that continuity supports charter familiarity but makes the suffix and model year necessary parts of a useful proposal.
Variant note. Current 100EX data is explicitly labeled; original Phenom 100, 100E and 100EV aircraft should not be assumed to carry every EX feature.

Inside the Phenom 100
The approximately 305-cubic-foot cabin uses a cross-section near 5 feet 1 inch wide and 4 feet 11 inches high, with roughly 11 feet of main passenger length. Four main executive seats, an optional side-facing seat and a belted lavatory can create up to seven passenger positions in current references, while extra-large windows provide abundant natural light and flush tables support work. Embraer publishes 64 cubic feet of total baggage and stowage for the 100EX; older aircraft, refreshment centers, power, Wi-Fi and seat ergonomics vary by completion.

Phenom 100 range, cruise speed and flight deck
Embraer publishes 1,178 nautical miles with four occupants and stated NBAA IFR reserves, plus 406-knot high-speed cruise, for the Phenom 100EX. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F1-E engines and Prodigy Touch avionics define that current variant, while earlier aircraft use different engine ratings and Garmin-based Prodigy generations; the straight low wing and aft-mounted engines frame the compact platform, but the carrier confirms the actual mission.
- Range reference
- Up to 1,178 nm
- Embraer 100EX reference with four 200-lb occupants, ISA en route, long-range cruise and NBAA IFR reserves.
- Cruise speed reference
- Up to 406 KTAS high-speed cruise
- Embraer 100EX high-speed-cruise reference; earlier variants differ.
- Engines and efficiency context
- Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F1-E turbofans on the current 100EX reference
- Installed engine standard, thrust setting, altitude, payload and cruise profile determine fuel burn; the model-level engine identity is not a trip fuel-consumption guarantee.
- Avionics
- Garmin G3000-based Prodigy Touch on 100EX; earlier Prodigy generations vary by variant
- Aerodynamic design
- Straight low wing with aft-mounted engines in a compact entry-level airframe
