Beechcraft 1900D

The Beechcraft 1900D is in a different category from every other regional turboprop in the charter market. It is the only pressurized turboprop with a stand-up cabin (5'11" headroom) and 1-1 seating across 19 seats. This configuration delivers airline-grade comfort and sociability for groups without the cost of smaller business jets or the airport limitations of commercial airlines.

Nineteen passengers occupy an aircraft designed for regional operations with short-field capability. The space per person is exceptional for a turboprop: $184/per person per hour at standard rates, competitive with business-class airfare when booking groups of 12+. The 1900D's 3,470-foot runway capability opens access to 200+ regional airports-Aspen, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Jackson Hole-unreachable by light jets requiring 4,500+ feet.

At $2,500-$3,500/hr, the 1900D is the most economical option for large groups and the only aircraft in its class combining pressurization, stand-up cabin, and regional runway access. It is chosen specifically for groups of 12 to 19 passengers requiring airport flexibility and sociability that no other turboprop offers.

The Beechcraft 1900D is a twin-engine pressurized turboprop regional airliner. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67D turboprop engines produce 1,279 shaft horsepower each. The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 17,120 pounds and can reach a service ceiling of 25,000 feet. Cabin pressurization maintains a 8,000-foot equivalent altitude during cruise. 

Cabin noise measures 80 dB depending on cruise speed and configuration. The 1900D's reliability record spans over 30 years of commercial and charter operations globally.

The airframe is manufactured from aluminum with advanced avionics standard on contemporary aircraft. Modern 1900D completions include glass cockpit systems, terrain awareness, and weather radar. 

Every 1900D charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by FAA Part 135 certificated operators with full operational control. The aircraft accumulated millions of flight hours across regional airlines, charter operators, and government services worldwide.

The 1900D is built on a regional commuter airframe used by major regional airlines. The transformation to charter configuration involves three significant differences from competitive turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air 200.

Stand-up cabin: The 1900D offers 5'11" headroom-true stand-up height. The Pilatus PC-12 tops out at 5'9" and King Air cabins are smaller, usually in club seating. The 1900D's 1-1 layout means every passenger has a window seat and direct aisle access, creating a social configuration impossible on smaller turboprops.

Nineteen-passenger capacity: At 19 seats, the 1900D carries more passengers than any pressurized turboprop. The PC-12 seats 9 maximum. The King Air 200 seats 8-10. This capacity creates per-person economies unmatched by smaller aircraft: groups of 12+ can charter the 1900D for less per seat than commercial first-class, eliminating the need for multiple jets or commercial airline hassle.

Regional runway capability: The 1900D lands on 3,470-foot runways. The PC-12 requires 2,600-3,300 feet depending on configuration, but the 1900D's heavier design and larger cargo/fuel capacity make short-field ops more repeatable at full load. The 1900D accesses 200+ North American and European regional airports, reaching Aspen, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Jackson Hole, and mountain ski destinations with full 19-passenger loads.

The 1900D cabin spans 14.9 feet with 5'11" headroom-full stand-up comfort across the aircraft. Configured in 1-1 seating along a center aisle, the 1900D carries 19 passengers where every seat is a window seat. Each passenger can recline, stand, walk about, and interact with others in a social configuration impossible on smaller jets. Large tinted windows with excellent views, overhead storage for personal items, and natural light throughout make the 1900D feel more like a private airliner than a charter jet.

The cabin pressure maintains a 8,000-foot equivalent altitude during cruise-the same comfort level as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Cabin noise measures 80 dB depending on cruise speed, permitting comfortable conversation and sleep on long flights. Air conditioning and heating are independent systems on each deck, allowing personalized comfort for different passenger groups occupying different zones of the aircraft.

Standard cabin layout includes:

• Entry/reception area near the cockpit
• 1-1 seating configuration (9-10 rows for 19 passengers)
• Overhead storage and underseat bins for personal luggage
• Large tinted windows with blackout shades
• Refreshment center with galley equipment
• Enclosed lavatory with full plumbing
• Pressurized internal baggage compartment (110 cu ft)
• Heated and air-conditioned cabin

Every 1900D interior is completed to individual operator specification. VIP completions add club seating configurations, entertainment systems, premium cabin finishes, and enhanced galley service. The 14.9-foot length allows full-length dining or conference table setup on charters where group work is the mission. Flight attendant service is standard on multi-hour charters.

The 1,500 nm range connects Boston-Washington, Paris-Nice, and Geneva-Milan nonstop. The 1900D thrives on regional routes under 3 hours where runway flexibility is more valuable than continental range. Typical routes include corporate shuttles between hub cities, ski charters to mountain resorts, and group leisure travel where 12+ passengers justify the per-person economics.

The 1900D requires runway lengths of 3,470 feet or longer. This opens 200+ regional US airports and 50+ European regional airports. Standard departure points include regional airports closer to origin cities, reducing ground time versus major commercial hubs.

The cost to charter a Beechcraft 1900D is typically $2,500 to $3,500 per flight hour. Hogani Jets applies the following pricing rule: the hourly rate includes aircraft operation, fuel, crew, and maintenance. Landing and handling fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately. For accurate all-in pricing, contact Hogani Jets with your routing and passenger count-pricing varies by season, demand, and positioning requirements.

Boston-Washington one-way charter (410 nm, 1h 45m) runs approximately $4,375 to $6,125. Paris-Nice one-way charter (370 nm, 1h 30m) runs approximately $3,750 to $5,250.

Round-trip bookings keep the aircraft on standby at destination and avoid repositioning fees. For same-day business trips, round-trip is typically 15-25% cheaper than two separate one-way charters. Example: Boston-NYC-Boston same-day (6am departure, 6pm return) costs approximately $11,000-$12,000 all-in versus $13,500+ for two one-way charters.
