Beechcraft King Air 250
Two engines, a square cabin with six to seven seats, and short field numbers a jet cannot match. The King Air 250 is the twin we quote for a regional trip when a family wants the second engine. Fuel and people trade against each other on this airplane, so a pilot plans the load around who is flying.

How we estimate bag counts
We allow 40 to 55% of the listed baggage volume for cases and 30 to 40% for golf bags, which pack poorly in nose and tail compartments. Assumed external dimensions: checked bag 28 × 20 × 12 in; golf travel bag 50 × 16 × 12 in; weekend bag 22 × 12 × 12 in. Counts are rounded down and show separate loads, not a combined allowance. Unspecified extra storage is excluded.
Volume estimates only. Bag shape, compartment doors, weight and fuel requirements determine the final fit. Tell us about mixed luggage, skis or bulky items.
Include your baggage in a quote request →- Weight and fuel. With full tanks the 250 carries little else, so a pilot plans the fuel around the people and the bags, not the other way round. Seven aboard on a long leg may mean a fuel stop.
- The runway. The 250 takes off in about 2,100 feet and lands in about 2,800 feet on a standard day, so fields of 3,500 feet and up are routine. A pilot runs the numbers for the day's heat and weight.
- The layout and the year. Some tails seat eight, interiors differ, and a 2011 airplane and a 2019 airplane do not feel the same. We identify the year and the seating before you decide.

Beechcraft King Air 250 questions.
When does a King Air 250 beat a PC-12?
When you want two engines, or seven seats on a short leg. The PC-12 has the bigger cabin and the cargo door; the 250 has the second engine and a little more speed. Tell us the trip and we show both.
How far can it go with everyone aboard?
About 1,100 nautical miles with four people and reserves. With six or seven and bags the fuel load drops, so a pilot plans a shorter leg or a stop. Nashville to Atlanta, Destin or the Gulf coast is comfortable.
