Why the King Air 350 Dominates the Market

Decade after decade, the King Air 350 continues to outsell every other turboprop in its class. The reasons are well-understood by operators worldwide:

• Unmatched reliability — The PT6A engine family has accumulated over 400 million flight hours in service; the King Air fleet's dispatch reliability consistently exceeds 99%
• Best-in-class range — With a maximum range of 1,806 nm (1,990 nm on the 350i), the King Air 350 connects city pairs that challenge competing turboprops
• Versatile cabin — The stretched fuselage accommodates configurations from 8-seat executive layouts to 11-seat high-density arrangements, with optional enclosed lavatory and full galley
• FL350 ceiling — High-altitude operation above weather and turbulence delivers a smoother, more comfortable passenger experience
• Strong residual values — The King Air 350's consistent market demand and global support network sustain resale values better than virtually any competing turboprop
• Global support — Over 100 authorized service centers worldwide ensure rapid access to parts, maintenance, and AOG support on every continent
