The King Air 260 on the Miami–New York route

A 1,720-nautical-mile range covers the 1,000 miles 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 runway flexibility make it as much at home at smaller Florida and New York fields as at the main business airports.

Cabin and luggage

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

Why travelers choose the King Air 260

  • Modern, dependable midsize King Air twin
  • Lower hourly cost than a light jet
  • Nonstop Miami to New York with a full cabin
  • Access to regional airports with shorter runways
  • Easy to source between Miami and New York
