I would think if the Meridian is used primarily as a personal airplane, that is the reason it is not selling well. Financing is hard to get right now unless you could just about loan them the money yourself, especially for high-end personal aircraft like the Meridian. This is why Cessna is not selling many jets- the loan pool dried up. In the case of commercial aircraft in this category, they are more appealing because the operating expenses are usually lower than similar sized jets, and for cost-conscious charter and corporate buyers they simply look better than jets right now.
