Beechcraft King Air: Charter and Medical Guide
Beechcraft's King Air line is the backbone of utility and medical aviation worldwide, and the current 360 and 260 models are still in production.
Beechcraft in the charter market
Origin: United States — twin turboprops in continuous production since the 1960s.
A King Air's value is where it can land. Short, semi-prepared and high-altitude fields are routine, which frequently means reaching a patient or a project site hours sooner than a jet routed to a larger airport.
That is why so many air ambulance operators build their fleets around the type: cabin volume takes a stretcher, a medical team and equipment, and operating costs allow missions that a jet would price out of reach.
We already publish a King Air 350 fleet page; the 360 is the current production evolution of the same airframe.
