Phenom 300 V CJ4 Sales

Looking over the last few years of GAMA shipment reports. It seems Embraer is clobbering Cessna in the sales area.


CJ4 Phenom 300
2011 48 42
2012 44 48
2013 33 60
2014 12 30 (1st 2 quarters)

At face value, both aircraft seem pretty evenly matched. What is Embraer doing right, or Cessna doing wrong. The Phenom seems to have a bigger cabin and a more European feel. The CJ4 has a phase maintenance schedule whereas the Phenom is simply an annual inspection. Is that a deal breaker for potential CJ customers.

Would love to hear comments from folks that have flown or operated both.
