Frequently asked questions

What is the range of the King Air 250?

The Beechcraft King Air 250 has a range of 2,193 km, or 1,184 nautical miles with regulatory reserves. At its cruising speed of 574 km/h, that works out at about 3 h 49 of continuous flight. Real-world range falls with the number of passengers, the load and headwinds.

How many passengers can the King Air 250 carry?

The standard layout seats 8 passengers. The certified maximum is 9 seats, but a fully loaded aircraft loses range: beyond 8 people, reckon on about 3 % less reach per extra passenger.

How much does it cost to charter a King Air 250?

The hourly rate observed on the European market runs from €3,000 to €5,800 for a Beechcraft King Air 250. A two-hour flight therefore comes to roughly €6,000 – 11,600, all in: crew, fuel and landing fees. Most operators apply a minimum billing of one and a half hours.

Which airports can the King Air 250 use?

It needs 792 metres of runway to take off and 643 metres to land at maximum weight. That opens up short fields such as Cannes-Mandelieu, Saint-Tropez La Môle or Courchevel-Chambéry. Its service ceiling reaches 35,000 feet, above commercial traffic and most weather.
