How Much Does It Cost to Charter a King Air 350i per Hour?
Chartering a King Air 350 or 350i costs from $2,500 per flight hour. The total depends mostly on how many hours the aircraft flies. That includes the flight to your departure airport if the aircraft is based elsewhere. A one-way price may also cover the empty flight back. Airport and landing fees are added, and crew waiting time or an overnight stay costs extra. Prices are higher on busy dates and holidays.
The 7.5% Federal Excise Tax applies to domestic US flights. International trips, such as Miami to Nassau, don’t pay this tax, but they can include customs and airport fees in the other country. Use our private jet charter cost estimator for a rough figure, or contact our team for an exact quote.

King Air 350i Interior
Beechcraft had restyled the cabin chairs with recessed headrests, retractable armrests, with inboard and outboard tracking. The cabin overhead has indirect lighting that glows softly. And cabin furniture has also been upgraded with a large hot and cold beverage unit as well as cabinets built into the seat backs.
The pressurized cabin usually has four club seats facing each other in the front section, with more seats behind them. The back of the cabin has a lavatory and a baggage area you can reach during the flight. The 350i also introduced the Collins Venue cabin management system, which lets passengers control lighting, temperature, and entertainment from their seats.

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 charters use it for trips of under two hours, where its top speed of 312 knots matters less than its lower cost and shorter runway needs. On longer trips, a light or midsize jet is faster.
What runway length is required for the King Air 350i?
The King Air 350i needs about 3,300 ft of runway for takeoff and about 2,480 ft for landing. That lets it use many small airports that larger jets cannot reach.
What are the cabin amenities of the King Air 350i aircraft?
Passengers flying privately on the King Air 350i will be pleasantly surprised by the cabin’s spaciousness, which is larger than in many light jets. There are retractable work tables between each pair of seats for productive work in the air, and an active noise cancellation system reduces in-flight noise, which helps you relax completely. If you need expert help finding the best private King Air 350i, contact our charter experts at your convenience.
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 trip.
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 trips, small airports, or a group of 8 to 9 with luggage. It costs less per hour and needs less runway. Choose a light jet when speed matters more, especially on trips longer than about two hours.
