The Phenom 100EV in service
Superseded in production by the Phenom 100EX, the 100EV remains active in charter fleets. It is a genuine very light jet: efficient over one to two hours, unsuited to longer sectors with a full cabin.
We quote this class when the group is four or five people on a short leg and the alternative would be an oversized aircraft flown empty in one direction.
Missions the type is used for
- Short regional hops for small groups
- Cost-controlled point-to-point business travel
Route examples that suit its legs
- Dubai to Muscat
- Riyadh to Dammam
- Amman to Aqaba
Where these figures come from
All figures above are the manufacturer's published maximum values and vary by serial number, interior configuration and operating conditions. Source: https://executive.embraer.com/global/en/phenom-100. MEGA does not manufacture or represent any airframer; aircraft are arranged through registered third-party operators and availability is confirmed per aircraft and per date.
How the very light jet class flies
Light jets are built for one to three hour sectors with a small group and modest baggage. They accept shorter runways than heavier types, which widens the choice of airports near the destination, and their handling and parking costs at busy fields are lower than a heavy cabin's.
Expect a seated cabin rather than a standing one on most types in this class, limited baggage volume, and a real payload-range trade: filling every seat usually means accepting a fuel stop on the longer legs the brochure range implies. For sectors regularly beyond three hours, a midsize cabin is the more comfortable answer.
Other Phenom — light types
- Phenom 300E — In production: 2,010 nm published; the most-delivered light jet of the last decade
- Phenom 100EX — In production: Current very light jet in the family
Chartering the Phenom 100EV
Availability is the deciding factor on any specific type. The Phenom 100EV is arranged through registered third-party operators, so whether one can be placed on your trip depends on where an aircraft of that type is positioned, the crew's duty time, and whether the operator's approvals cover the airports and airspace involved. Where the type is not free, the desk offers the closest equivalent in the same class rather than holding a trip open.
Positioning, airport slots, handling, overnight crew costs and any de-icing or curfew constraints are priced into the quote rather than added afterwards, and every figure is confirmed against the actual aircraft and date before it is issued. We publish no rate for any type here, because an honest number depends on the aircraft, the routing and the day.
Frequently asked questions
How many passengers does the Phenom 100EV carry?
Typical charter seating is 4 to 5. The exact figure depends on the individual aircraft's interior, since operators configure cabins differently, and on baggage — a full cabin with heavy luggage can change what the aircraft can lift out of a given runway.
How far can the Phenom 100EV fly?
The published maximum range is 1,178 nm published, quoted by the manufacturer under ideal conditions with a defined payload. Real sector capability is shorter once passengers, baggage, winds, temperature and reserve fuel are applied, so the operations desk checks each leg against the specific aircraft rather than the brochure figure.
Is the Phenom 100EV still in production?
Production status: Out of production — still flying. Status matters for parts support, cabin technology and resale, and it is stated here so no one quotes or budgets against a type that has not entered service or is no longer built.
Does MEGA operate the Phenom 100EV?
No. MEGA arranges flights on aircraft operated by licensed third-party operators holding their own air operator certificates. Safety ratings such as ARGUS, IS-BAO or Wyvern are held by the relevant operator and applicability varies by aircraft and operator.
