The Beechcraft King Air 100 is a legacy twin-engine pressurized turboprop with the longer cabin that helped bridge the short-fuselage King Air 90 and later Model 200. It can remain useful for regional charter when the proposed aircraft has current maintenance, capable avionics and a well-kept interior, but the original 100, A100 and Garrett-powered B100 have different engines and performance and must be identified precisely.
Why the King Air 100 remains a charter consideration
Beech introduced the Model 100 in 1969 by stretching the King Air cabin and combining established family systems with greater passenger and payload utility. The A100 refined the Pratt & Whitney-powered design, while the B100 used Garrett, now Honeywell, TPE331 engines; production ended in 1983 as the T-tail Model 200 family became the principal larger King Air development, leaving today's 100-series fleet highly dependent on individual upgrades and operating history.
Variant note. The Pratt & Whitney-powered Model 100/A100 and Honeywell TPE331-powered B100 are materially different; performance, procedures and support assumptions cannot be transferred between them.

Inside the King Air 100
A King Air 100 charter layout commonly carries six or seven passengers and may accommodate eight in a denser approved arrangement, using club seats, folding tables, a forward refreshment cabinet and an aft lavatory or belted toilet position. The approximately 303-cubic-foot square-oval passenger cabin is about 16 feet 8 inches long, 4 feet 6 inches wide and 4 feet 9 inches high, while baggage references vary from roughly 30 cubic feet on conservative legacy layouts to about 63.5 cubic feet in a B100 rear compartment. Window light and the cabin's length support conversation or work, while power, connectivity, cooling, cabinetry, seat ergonomics and any nose or locker modification are tail-specific.
- Seat configuration
- Typically 6–7 passengers; up to 8 in approved higher-density arrangements
- Cabin volume
- Approximately 303 cu ft
- Cabin dimensions
- Approximately 16 ft 8 in long × Approximately 4 ft 6 in wide × Approximately 4 ft 9 in high
- Baggage capacity
- Approximately 30–63.5 cu ft by 100/A100/B100 layout and compartment basis
Legacy references do not use one common baggage basis; internal lockers, closets and any modified nose or wing stowage require tail-specific confirmation.

King Air 100 range, cruise speed and flight deck
Historical King Air 100-family references span approximately 1,080 to 1,325 nautical miles and about 247 to 265 KTAS, with meaningful differences among 100, A100 and B100 loading and reserve assumptions. The 100 and A100 use Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-series engines, commonly PT6A-28, while the B100 uses Honeywell TPE331-6 engines; the low wing, conventional tail, retractable landing gear and reversible propellers predate the Model 200's T-tail, and flight decks range from original electromechanical systems to certified modern retrofits.
- Range reference
- Approximately 1,080–1,325 nm by 100-series variant
- Historical variant-level planning references with different payload and reserve assumptions; operator data controls.
- Cruise speed reference
- Approximately 247–265 KTAS by variant
- Historical 100/A100/B100 cruise references; not guaranteed block speed.
- Engines and efficiency context
- Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-series turboprops on the 100/A100 or two Honeywell TPE331-6 turboprops on the B100
- Installed engine standard, thrust setting, altitude, payload and cruise profile determine fuel burn; the model-level engine identity is not a trip fuel-consumption guarantee.
- Avionics
- The reviewed 1976 B100 tail combines Sperry SPZ-200A flight controls with Garmin G600 and GNS 430 retrofits; original and upgraded installations vary materially by aircraft
- Aerodynamic design
- Low-mounted wing, conventional tail, retractable tricycle landing gear and reversible propellers; not the later Model 200 T-tail

Is the King Air 100 right for your charter?
A King Air 100 may suit short business sectors, regional family travel and baggage-conscious trips where a long cabin is useful and the operator can support a legacy airframe confidently. Jet Partners keeps every King Air 100 request quote-only and will require the direct carrier to confirm whether the aircraft is a 100, A100 or B100, along with engines, crew, maintenance, seating, baggage, avionics, runway feasibility and written terms.
Jet Partners compares trip-specific proposals as an air charter broker.
