Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The King Air 260 belongs to the long-running 200-series family. Its layout preserves the familiar compact cabin used for business travel and regional transport.

Announced in 2020 and first delivered in 2021, the 260 succeeded the 250. Automatic engine-power management and digital pressurisation reduced routine pilot tasks, while the interior received revised seats and details.

The 260 remains distinct from the larger King Air 360. For passengers, the key comparison is the number of full-size seats, the cabin width and the amount of baggage that can travel with everyone on board.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.45 m.

Will my aircraft have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.

When should I consider this model?

King Air 260 suits shorter regional sectors and airports where a larger jet may be impractical. It is slower than a jet and does not have a stand-up cabin, but can be useful for a small group with a direct regional itinerary.
