WHO SHOULD CHARTER THIS
Why choose the Beechcraft King Air 260?
The right client profile for the 260: 8 passengers, missions inside its 1,720 nm range, and routes where the turboprop cabin size is the sweet spot between cost and comfort.
- Latest Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics
- Short-runway and unimproved-strip capable
- Lowest seat-mile cost in executive turboprop class
RANGE & LIMITATIONS
What the 260 can — and can't — do
Non-stop range
1,720 nm with typical payload. Missions beyond this figure require a technical fuel stop — expect 30–45 minutes on the ground and a modest re-quote. On strong headwinds or full-cabin days the practical range trims by 5–10%.
Runway requirement
Balanced-field length around 2,950 ft. Rules out very short-strip airfields (Courchevel, Lugano, London City steep-approach) unless the airframe is specifically certified — our ops team validates every airport pairing before we confirm the quote.
Payload & baggage
55 cu ft of hold space with 8 passengers. Ski, golf and dive equipment fit for most parties; larger groups with full luggage should size up one category to preserve the range figure above.
