Beechcraft Kingair 350i vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Embraer Phenom 300e

The Beechcraft King Air 360 is a twin‑turboprop in the high‑end utility/business category, typically seating about 6 to 9 passengers in most corporate layouts. Its range is generally in the roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical mile class depending on payload, reserves, and conditions, making it well suited to shorter regional missions and airports with more challenging runway or field conditions. The Cessna Citation CJ4 is a light business jet, usually configured for about 7 to 10 passengers. It offers longer legs than the King Air 360, commonly around the ~2,000 nautical mile class, and is aimed at faster point‑to‑point travel between city pairs that are beyond typical turboprop mission lengths. The Embraer Phenom 300E is also a light business jet, typically seating about 6 to 10 passengers depending on interior choices. It generally provides range similar to, and often slightly greater than, the CJ4—around the ~2,000 nautical mile class—while emphasizing high cruise speed and efficient light‑jet performance.
