Which should you charter?

On paper the Beechjet 400A does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.

Pick the Embraer Phenom 300E if you need the extra 1,515 km (818 nm) of range, you are a group of 9 to 10, headroom matters (the cabin is 5 cm taller) and you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 1.3 m longer).

The Beechjet 400A is estimated at $3,600/hr against $4,700/hr for the Embraer Phenom 300E, about $1,100 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Embraer Phenom 300E saves about 3 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.

Example trip: the Embraer Phenom 300E can fly Dubai (DXB) to Mumbai (BOM) nonstop, 1,926 km. The Beechjet 400A would need a fuel stop on that route.

Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
