The Beechcraft King Air 350 is India's most widely operated turboprop — and for good reason. It combines jet-like cabin comfort with the ability to land on short, unpaved, or high-altitude airstrips that no jet can access. Shimla, Kullu-Manali, Dharamsala, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, and dozens of other Indian strips that are physically inaccessible to jets are routine operations for the King Air 350. In India's charter market, it's the workhorse for industrial site visits, factory inspection tours, pharmaceutical company logistics, and access to hill stations and coastal destinations. At ₹1,20,000–1,50,000 for a short hop, it's also the most cost-efficient aircraft for groups of 4–8 on sectors under 600 km.

FAQ
King Air 350 — questions answered
How much does a King Air 350 charter cost in India?
King Air 350 charters in India start from ₹1,20,000 for a short sector — every aircraft in our network, including turboprops, is priced at a floor of ₹1,20,000 per hour. For a Mumbai–Nashik hop (40 minutes), expect approximately ₹1,20,000–1,40,000 total for the aircraft.
What makes the King Air 350 different from a private jet?
The King Air 350 is turboprop-powered — it uses propellers driven by jet engines. This gives it the ability to operate on shorter runways (needs only 1,100m vs 1,600m+ for jets), higher altitude strips, and unpaved surfaces. It's also significantly more fuel-efficient on sectors under 600 km, making it more cost-effective for short hops.
Can the King Air 350 fly to Shimla and Kullu-Manali?
Yes. This is one of its primary use cases in India. Shimla Airport (SLV) and Kullu-Manali (KUU) have runway limitations that prevent jets from operating. The King Air 350 is specifically certified for mountain approach procedures and hot-and-high conditions. Delhi to Shimla is 45 minutes; Delhi to Kullu is 1h 10m.
