Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Cessna Citation Latitude vs Embraer Phenom 300e

The Beechcraft King Air 360 is a twin‑turboprop in the utility/executive category, optimized for short and unimproved runways and lower operating costs, with typical seating for about 6 to 9 passengers. Its range is generally around 1,500 nautical miles, varying with payload and reserves. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light business jet, faster and higher‑flying than the King Air, commonly configured for about 6 to 9 passengers. It offers a longer typical range than the turboprop, roughly around 1,900 to 2,000 nautical miles, making it well suited to regional missions with jet speed. The Cessna Citation Latitude sits in the midsize jet category, providing a larger cabin and more stand‑up comfort than the Phenom 300E, with typical seating around 7 to 9 passengers (often up to about 10 depending on layout). Its range is usually the longest of the three at roughly 2,700 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs.
