king air

Many companies big and small fly King Airs.
Im going to assume that since you see more about who is flying Gulfsreams and BBJs in the aviation media, and only an ad for a King Air is why you asked that question.
King Airs are not as glamorous as they were back in the day. They are still out there going strong because they work and work and work. They do what they do very well, they don't break much, they fly great, the people in the back love them. There were turboprops back in the day that were faster and burned less fuel, but they haven't been made since back in the day.
You can get a new King Air 350 today. You can put in 3,611 lbs of fuel, a 200 lb. pilot, and carry 1600 lbs (8 200lb. people) for 1500 miles with reserves. On a standard day, you would need 3,300 feet of runway at sea level. At Denver on a 90 Degree F day you would need 8,000 feet. Depending on your load and elevation, you can get even use a 3,000 foot runway.
Full Seats and Full Fuel--That is an airplane
