The Beechcraft King Air 260 in brief

These listings are the King Air 200 family: the B200 and B200GT, the King Air 250 and the current 260. They are twin-engine turboprops with a pressurized cabin.

They are flown by owners, charter operators, medical services and governments, and are a common step up from piston twins.

106 Beechcraft King Air 260 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 1977–2023.

The middle half were built 1986–2005.

How the Beechcraft King Air 260 performs

The King Air 200 line pairs two Pratt & Whitney PT6 engines with a large cabin and the ability to use shorter strips than jets. The GT, 250 and 260 add performance and newer avionics.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 286 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 2,070 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 14 passengers.

Buying a Beechcraft King Air 260

Engine times, program enrollment and avionics upgrades set much of the asking price, and two aircraft of similar years can differ widely for that reason.

The middle half of US-dollar asks run $1,783,750–$2,960,000, around a median of $2,385,000, from 20 priced listings. Asking prices, not sales.

The middle half of those that publish airframe time show 3,172–9,113 hours, from 86 listings.

Before an offer, check

  • Hot section and overhaul times for both engines, and whether an engine program transfers.
  • Wing spar and corrosion inspections, and the aircraft’s use history.
  • Propeller overhaul status.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
