Introduction & Fun Facts

The Beechcraft King Air 200 builds on the legendary King Air series, one of the most successful twin-turboprops in aviation history. With a longer cabin and more powerful engines than the smaller C90, the King Air 200 offers increased range and passenger capacity while maintaining the same ability to land on shorter runways. This makes it a favorite for executive travelers, leisure groups, and operators needing flexible access to regional airports across Europe.

Cabin & Comfort

  • Seats: 8–9 passengers

  • Cabin Dimensions: 5.90 m (length) × 1.37 m (width) × 1.45 m (height)

    • ≈ 19 ft 4 in × 4 ft 6 in × 4 ft 9 in

  • Layout: Club seating with fold-out tables

  • Luggage Capacity: Up to 8 medium suitcases or 3 golf bags with soft cabin luggage

  • Lavatory: Optional rear, non-enclosed (belted seat)

The cabin strikes an excellent balance between practicality and comfort. Its extended length allows for more seating and space compared to the C90, while still retaining the ability to operate from smaller airports.

Catering

On the King Air 200, catering is typically light and cold service due to the absence of an onboard galley. Clients can expect:

  • Sandwiches and wraps

  • Fresh fruit platters

  • Snacks and sweets

  • Coffee, tea, and soft drinks

This makes it well-suited for short- and medium-haul flights where a simple yet quality service is preferred.
