Embraer Executive Jets Phenom 300
The Phenom 300 received FAA type certification in December 2009, and the first aircraft was delivered at the end of that month. Rather than a stretched Phenom 100, it was a clean-sheet design with swept wings, PW535E engines and single-pilot certification, offering a 1,971 nm range with six occupants. The original version was built until 2017, when the Phenom 300E with a redesigned interior and Prodigy Touch avionics replaced it.
In short: The Embraer Executive Jets Phenom 300 is a Light Jet with a range of 1,971 nm, a cruise speed of 453 knots and room for 6 passengers. It lists at about $9M new and costs roughly $1,750 an hour to operate (estimate).

What a jet card really costs versus charter
Jet cards buy price certainty, not automatic savings. The real comparison with on-demand charter turns on minimums, peak days, repositioning, taxes, aircraft category and the cost of tying up cash.
