Return to Buyers Guide
For several decades the Beech King Air family has reigned supreme in the twin turboprop segment, and for good reason. Operating economics are superb compared with a jet, as is the carrying capability of these models. While King Airs today don’t sell nearly as well as they once did, a large pool of used airplanes and performance upgrades make them popular choices among pre-owned airplane buyers.
