Beechcraft King Air 350i
Turboprop jet - 8 passengers, 1,806 nm published range
About the Beechcraft King Air 350i
The Beechcraft King Air 350i is the stretched, winglet-equipped member of the King Air family and the most widely chartered twin turboprop in North America. It carries up to nine passengers in a 19 ft 6 in cabin with a private aft lavatory, cruises at 312 ktas and covers about 1,714 nm with four passengers aboard, and works comfortably off short, unpaved and high-elevation runways that a light jet cannot use.
Who charters it
Strong for mountain and short-field missions where the runway, not the clock, sets the constraint. A 3,300 ft takeoff field length, two PT6A-60A engines and a genuine nine-seat cabin with a private aft lavatory make it a practical choice into Aspen, Telluride, Jackson Hole and unpaved strips, and it holds payload on a hot, high day better than most light jets. It is not the right aircraft when speed or range is the point. At 312 ktas and about 1,714 nm with four aboard, a transcontinental trip means a fuel stop and several more hours than a light jet, the cabin sits higher than a jet cabin at altitude, and passengers used to a Citation will notice the propeller noise. Charter hourly figures shown here are non-binding estimate ranges, not quotes.

Colorado mountain airports: strong
Twin PT6A-60A power and a 3,300 ft sea-level takeoff distance make this one of the strongest turboprop choices for Colorado mountain airports; one charter-industry source names it the gold standard turboprop for landing at Telluride (TEX). ASE and EGE are routine with normal load planning. TEX is less about runway length than sustained climb-out through terrain reaching 11,000 to 14,000 ft, and summer density altitude on the mesa erodes climb margins and can force payload cuts, so treat full-passenger, full-fuel TEX loads as conditional on cool conditions rather than a given. Real single-engine climb performance is the advantage this twin holds over the single-engine turboprops in this dataset.
Planning guidance only. The operator, the AFM performance data, and conditions on the day are the final authority.
