The King Air 260 on the Miami–New York route

A 1,720-nautical-mile range covers the 1,000-mile corridor nonstop with a full cabin. At about 310 knots it flies the route in roughly three to three-and-a-half hours — an hour or so behind a jet, for a meaningfully lower charter rate.

Its twin PT6A engines and short-field ability make it as comfortable at smaller Florida and New York fields as at the main business airports.

Cabin and baggage

The 16-foot-8 cabin seats six to eight in a club layout with four-foot-nine headroom, and a 55-cubic-foot baggage area handles a small group's bags. Updated avionics and a quiet cabin make for an easy ride down or up the Eastern Seaboard.

Why travellers choose the King Air 260

  • Modern, dependable mid-size King Air twin
  • Lower hourly cost than a light jet
  • Nonstop Miami to New York with a full cabin
  • Short-field access to regional airports
  • Easy to source on the corridor
