The aircraft
Since its release in 1964, Beechcraft’s iconic King Air fleet has amassed over 60 million flight hours. Able to cruise for 1,720 nm at an altitude of 35,000 ft, the popular turboprop seats up to nine. The latest model is equipped with a standard IS&S Thrustsense Autothrottle and digital pressurization system, reducing the pilot’s workload especially at takeoff and landing. Inside, there are five stylish new interior schemes to choose from and the jet has been fitted with sound proofing and smart noise cancellation technology for a peaceful journey. The King Air 260 also has increased baggage capacity, with a gross takeoff weight of 13,420 lb, so you won’t have to worry about packing light.
