Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Embraer Phenom 100EV is a very light jet aimed at short-to-mid missions, typically offering around 1,100–1,200 nautical miles of range and seating commonly arranged for about four to six passengers (with operator-dependent options). It fits owners and charter users prioritizing lower operating costs and access to smaller airports over maximum cabin space. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet in a higher performance class, with a typical range around 1,900–2,000 nautical miles and seating often configured for six to nine passengers. Compared with the 100EV, it delivers more speed, payload capability, and a larger cabin, making it better suited to longer regional trips and frequent business missions. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet as well, but positioned as a “utility” jet with a focus on versatility, including strong short/rough-field capability. Its range is broadly comparable to the Phenom 300E (roughly 1,900–2,000 nautical miles depending on configuration), and it typically carries about six to eight passengers, with flexible cabin and cargo arrangements.
