The Beechcraft King Air 350i is an upgraded version of the King Air 350, the largest model in the King Air family of twin-turboprop aircraft. Beechcraft announced the 350i in October 2008 with a redesigned passenger cabin. The newest version, the King Air 360, followed in 2020.
Our clients choose the King Air 350i for short regional private flights. It costs less per hour than most light jets, uses shorter runways, and seats 8 to 9 passengers in a typical layout. For smaller groups, see our King Air 250 private charter page.

How Much Does It Cost to Charter a King Air 350i per Hour?
Chartering a King Air 350 or 350i costs $2,500 per flight hour. The total depends mostly on how many hours the aircraft flies, including relocation to your departure point if the aircraft is based elsewhere. Airport and landing fees go on top, and so does the crew’s time if they wait for you or stay overnight. Expect higher prices on holidays, busy dates, and during ski season.

King Air 350i Interior
The King Air 350i has the standard double-club layout: two groups of four leather seats facing each other, with fold-out tables between them. Heated seats are optional. With FlexCabin, owners can rearrange or remove the aft club seats.
LED lighting runs through the whole cabin. The windows are electrochromic, so they darken at the touch of a button instead of using pull-down shades. Beechcraft’s multi-step noise reduction brings the cabin sound level down by 4 dBA. You also get a built-in refreshment center and USB ports to charge phones and tablets.
The 350i was the first King Air with the Rockwell Collins Venue cabin management system. Switch panels in the cabin let passengers run the Blu-ray player, music, video, and a 3D Airshow moving map that shows flight information. A 15.3-inch monitor swings out from a forward cabinet, and some King Air 350i layouts also have screens at each seat.
The aft lavatory and a luggage area at the back of the cabin are both reachable during the private flight. Some aircraft also have an optional vanity with running water and mirrors.

FAQs: King Air 350 & 350i Private Flights
How far can the King Air 350i fly?
The King Air 350i can fly up to 1,806 nm. Most private charter clients book it for itineraries of under two hours, where its maximum cruise speed of 312 ktas matters less than its lower cost and shorter runway needs. On longer routes, a light or midsize jet is faster.
Can a King Air 350 cross the Atlantic?
Not nonstop. With a range of about 1,800 nm, an Atlantic crossing needs several fuel stops. A long-range jet is the better choice for a transatlantic private flight.
Does the King Air 350 have a toilet?
Yes. The King Air 350 has a lavatory at the back of the cabin.
Should I charter a King Air 350/350i or a light jet?
Choose the King Air 350 or 350i for short routes, small airports, or a group of 8 to 9 people with luggage. It costs less per hour and needs less runway. Choose a light jet when speed matters more, especially on private flights longer than about two hours.
