The King Air 300 charter plane is an extremely versatile twin-engine turboprop produced by Beechcraft. The next generation of the King Air 200 series, the King Air 300 shares the same T-tail design, which provides enhanced stability on takeoff and landing.

This premier turboprop can soar up to an altitude of 35,000 feet, increasing air charter safety and comfort for all of its passengers. This service ceiling is, on average, 10,000 feet higher than most competitors. The 300 also climbs at an impressive rate—2,844 feet-per-minute—which allows this turboprop to reach altitude quickly. The 16-foot, eight-inch cabin of the King Air 300 is roomy and comfortable for longer flights. This turboprop will seat six executives in total comfort. Plus, there’s a generous internal storage compartment. Conveniently located to the right of the aft airstair, there’s no need to lug your bags through the cabin.

Beechcraft made additional modifications to dramatically improve aerodynamics and power of the 300 series. The King Air 300 can fly at a long-range cruise speed of 265 mph up to a maximum range of 1,920 nautical miles. For shorter charter flights, it manages an impressive 362 mph.

Private charter flights from Charleston, South Carolina to the Florida Keys on a charter flight are common. While these improved cruising speeds aren’t quite in the same league as competitors in the light jet market, the difference in flight times for short hops is becoming less of a concern. For those who would rather have the comfort of a more spacious cabin.
