Model overview

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.

However, the original 100, A100 and Garrett-powered B100 have different engines and performance and must be identified precisely.

Production history

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. 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.

Overview and production sources

Turboprop pricing is itinerary-specific and is provided only in a written proposal. No generic Turboprop hourly range is published; the written proposal supplies the trip-specific price and terms. Only a current written proposal confirms the aircraft, direct carrier, inclusions, conditional charges and total trip price.

Cabin and baggage

Cabin layout and baggage guidance

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.

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. Power, connectivity, cooling, cabinetry, seat ergonomics and any nose or locker modification are tail-specific.

Cabin volume

Legacy references do not use one common baggage basis; internal lockers, closets and any modified nose or wing stowage require tail-specific confirmation.

Range and performance

Performance and flight deck guidance

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. 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.

Engines and efficiency context

Fuel use depends on the installed engines, thrust, altitude, payload and cruise settings. An engine model alone does not predict trip fuel use.
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

Mission fit

Mission planning guidance

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.

Confirm these details in writing

  • Aircraft, cabin layout, passenger count and baggage fit.
  • Named direct air carrier and available trip-specific safety information.
  • Runway, payload, weather, routing and possible technical-stop limits.
  • Total price, inclusions, conditional charges and cancellation terms.

The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the proposal retains operational control and makes the final flight-operational decisions.

Questions about chartering the King Air 100

How many passengers can the King Air 100 carry?
Typically 6–7 passengers; up to 8 in approved higher-density arrangements. That is a model-level reference, not a promise for every tail. The approved seat map, required crew, payload, baggage and mission conditions determine the passenger count that the direct carrier can accept.
What is the charter range of the King Air 100?
Approximately 1,080–1,325 nm by 100-series variant is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. Historical variant-level planning references with different payload and reserve assumptions; operator data controls. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What should I verify when comparing King Air 100 variants?
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. Ask for the exact variant, tail number, seating, equipment and direct carrier in writing. A model name does not confirm the offered configuration.
How much does it cost to charter the King Air 100?
Turboprop pricing is provided only through an itinerary-specific written proposal. Positioning, billable time, minimums, airports, taxes, fees, crew requirements, the actual aircraft and the current direct-carrier response determine the trip price.
What cabin amenities are available on 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. 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. Power, connectivity, cooling, cabinetry, seat ergonomics and any nose or locker modification are tail-specific. Those are model-level and reviewed-aircraft references; every required seat, lavatory, power, connectivity, entertainment, catering and baggage feature must be confirmed on the proposed tail.
Who operates a flight on the King Air 100 arranged through Jet Partners?
Jet Partners acts as a charter services arranger and does not operate the aircraft. The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the written proposal provides the flight, retains operational control and makes final safety and operational decisions.
