King Air B200 For Sale
The Beechcraft King Air B200 is one of the most widely operated twin turboprops in the world. A development of the original King Air 200 introduced in 1974, the B200 variant entered service in 1981 with uprated engines and improved performance. The type has been produced in larger numbers than any other business turboprop, with the combined 200 series fleet exceeding 3,500 aircraft delivered.
Powered by two Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-42 engines producing 850 shaft horsepower each, the King Air B200 cruises at approximately 289 knots with a range of 1,580 nautical miles. The pressurised cabin is configured for seven to nine passengers in a typical executive layout, though high density configurations can seat up to 13. The aircraft features a T-tail design, retractable landing gear, and a cargo pod option for additional baggage capacity.
Variants and Market Position
The King Air 200 series has evolved through several variants. The original 200 used PT6A-41 engines, while the B200 introduced the more powerful PT6A-42. The B200GT added composite propellers and was later redesignated as the King Air 250. Special mission variants serve military, maritime patrol, and air ambulance roles in over 90 countries.
The B200 sits between the entry level King Air C90 and the stretched King Air 350 in terms of capacity and operating costs. It is widely regarded as the best balance of range, payload, and economy in the twin turboprop category.
