The most produced business turboprop there is, and on this board a genuinely mixed bag: Madrid to Munster, Providenciales to Miami, Alicante to Barcelona. Slower than a jet, cheaper than a jet, and often the only thing going to a small field.
Checking availability on this type...
Madrid to Munster, Providenciales to Miami, Alicante to Barcelona. Three regions with no connection to each other, which is what a type in wide general use looks like. The PC-12 does the same job on one engine and is on the board in larger numbers.
A King Air takes half as long again as a light jet over the same distance and carries the same six to eight people in a cabin they can move around in. Prices appear on a minority of legs. Notice is about a week; listings stay up for a couple of weeks. We count the 200 and B200 together. Specification: King Air B200 specifications.
The King Air 200 first flew in 1972 and has been in continuous production since, longer than any other business aircraft; the B200 of 1981 added PT6A-42 engines and the 250 and 260 followed. Over a thousand B200s alone were built. A pressurised twin turboprop seating six to eight, slower than a jet but able to use short and unpaved strips and cheaper to run, it is the workhorse of charter, air ambulance and government fleets everywhere.
