The King Air 260 from New York to Miami
With 1,720 nautical miles of range against the route's 950, the King Air 260 flies New York to Miami nonstop with a full cabin and reserves. Its 310-knot cruise sets the passage at around three and a half hours, and a 35,000-foot ceiling carries it above much of the weather along the seaboard.
The 260's modernized flight deck and the enduring reliability of its twin Pratt & Whitney turboprops make it a thoroughly dependable choice, at an operating cost well below that of any jet on the route.

The cabin and its appointments
The cabin seats six to eight against a maximum of nine, in a comfortable configuration a little more intimate than the larger King Air 350i's. With fifty-five cubic feet of luggage and the King Air line's characteristic solidity, it is a well-judged cabin for this city pair, suited to the smaller corporate group or the family traveling together.
How it compares within the class
The King Air 260 sits a step below its larger sibling the King Air 350i in cabin and range, and well above the smaller King Air C90GTx. For the traveler who wants a comfortable twin turboprop for six to eight at a keen figure, it is among the soundest choices in the turboprop class, and a frequent one for the business party.
