About this aircraft

The Phenom 100EV is the latest iteration of Embraer's entry into the very-light jet market — Garmin G3000 avionics, larger cabin windows than peers, and the manufacturer's signature oval fuselage. Four passengers, an enclosed lavatory, and an external baggage hold that keeps the cabin uncluttered. Range is at the lower end of the VLJ class — best for short legs.

Highlights

  • Garmin G3000 cockpit
  • Oval cabin — more headroom than rivals
  • Enclosed lavatory
  • External baggage compartment
  • Common in European charter pool

Typical routes

Where the office books this aircraft.

Geneva → Saint-Tropez (La Môle)

50min

300 nm · Summer (May–Sep)

Short 50-minute hop to La Môle (LFTZ), the airport closest to Saint-Tropez. The runway is short and restricted — most peer light jets cannot land here, so the Pilatus PC-24 or a VLJ is the right call.

Zürich → St. Moritz (Samedan)

30min

100 nm · Winter (Dec–Mar)

LSZS Samedan is Europe's highest-elevation airport (5,600 ft) — performance requirements limit the aircraft list significantly. Pilatus PC-24 is the Swiss member's choice; many heavy jets cannot land here.

Zürich → Courchevel

35min

150 nm · Winter (Dec–Mar)

LFLJ Courchevel is the famous short-runway 'altiport' — only specifically rated pilots can land here, and only on certified VLJs. Most members instead fly to Chambéry (LFLB) and helicopter the last 15 minutes.
