About the King Air 360
The Beechcraft King Air 360 is the current flagship of the King Air 350 line — the definitive twin-engine business turboprop, a family in continuous production since 1964 and the benchmark against which every cabin-class turboprop is measured. Introduced in 2020, the 360 modernises the proven airframe with a new flight deck, digital pressurisation and cockpit automation.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-60A engines, it seats up to eleven in a stand-up, double-club cabin and cruises with a range of roughly 1,800 nautical miles. The 360 introduced Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion with touchscreen control, an IS&S ThrustSense auto-throttle and a digital pressurisation system that lowers cabin altitude for a more comfortable ride on longer sectors.
The King Air 360 suits operators who want the redundancy of two engines, a genuinely large cabin and the unmatched global support of the King Air fleet, whether for corporate travel, charter or special missions. Buyers prioritising outright speed or single-engine economics may consider a fast single such as the TBM or PC-12; those who value twin-engine reassurance, cabin size and proven durability continue to make the King Air the segment's default.
King Air 360 cost of ownership: FAQs
How much does it cost to own a King Air 360?
Total cost of ownership for the King Air 360 depends mostly on how much you fly it. The largest drivers are crew, the engine/maintenance program, fuel, insurance and hangarage. Enter your own annual hours in the calculator above for an estimated annual cost and a fully-burdened cost per flight hour, then talk to our advisors for a precise model built on current market data.
What is the King Air 360's operating cost per flight hour?
Hourly cost is driven by fuel burn, engine and airframe maintenance programs, and reserves. As a turboprops with turboprop powerplant, the King Air 360 sits in that class's cost band — variable (hourly) costs rise with utilisation while fixed costs are spread across more hours. Use the calculator to see the cost per hour at your expected annual hours.
What are the biggest costs of owning a King Air 360?
Ownership costs split into fixed costs that you pay regardless of flying (crew salaries, insurance, hangar, management and scheduled maintenance reserves) and variable costs that scale with hours flown (fuel, engine-program charges and maintenance). For a turboprops like the King Air 360, crew and the engine program are typically among the largest line items.
Is it cheaper to charter or to own a King Air 360?
At low or variable annual utilisation, chartering or leasing is usually more economical because you avoid the fixed costs of ownership; above a breakeven level of annual hours, owning the King Air 360 tends to win. Model your hours in the calculator, then compare against our charter and leasing options to find your breakeven.
