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 Learjet 75 Liberty if you need the extra 1,495 km (807 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 30 cm taller), you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 1.1 m longer) and you want a wider cabin (20 cm more across).
The Beechjet 400A is estimated at $3,600/hr against $4,600/hr for the Learjet 75 Liberty, about $1,000 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Learjet 75 Liberty saves about 5 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 Learjet 75 Liberty 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.
