Charter a King Air 360 Turboprop

Textron introduced the King Air 360 in 2020 as a refinement of the King Air 350i rather than a ground-up redesign, and most of what changed lives in the cockpit and cabin rather than the airframe. A Collins Pro Line Fusion flight deck with three touchscreen displays and an automated throttle system, branded ThrustSense, calculates safe power settings and adjusts the engines without pilot input, cutting workload on every phase of flight from takeoff through landing.

The cabin tells a similar story. An enhanced digital pressurization system keeps cabin altitude meaningfully lower than earlier King Air models, roughly 5,960 feet of cabin altitude even while cruising at 27,000 feet, which measurably reduces fatigue on longer flights. Combined with a cabin height approaching five feet, the 360 gets closer to jet-like comfort than most turboprops manage, while still reaching smaller regional airports a jet cannot use.

Textron Aviation certified the King Air 360 in late 2020 as the current-generation successor to the King Air 350i. Twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-60A engines, a Pro Line Fusion flight deck, and one of the largest cabins in the King Air lineup define this generation.

The King Air 360's pressurization system automatically manages cabin pressure through climb and descent, holding a lower equivalent cabin altitude than earlier King Air generations at the same cruise altitude. Paired with improved soundproofing and heat-reflective cabin windows, the result is a noticeably quieter, more comfortable ride than older turboprops, narrowing the comfort gap with light jets on longer regional trips.

A turboprop trades a light jet's higher cruise speed for a meaningfully lower hourly rate. At $1,900–$2,500 per hour, the King Air 360 still costs less than a light jet such as the Citation CJ3, and its short-field capability reaches airports a jet cannot use, though it flies slower over the same distance.

• Lower cost: $1,300 to $2,500 per hour versus $2,300 to $3,800 for a light jet.
• Shorter runway needs: roughly 3,150 to 3,300 feet of takeoff distance, opening regional airports many light jets cannot use.
• Slower cruise: 312 knots versus 480 knots or faster for a light jet.
• Best mission: regional trips of up to nine passengers wanting a jet-like cabin experience without a jet's hourly rate.

The King Air 360 typically seats seven to eight passengers in a double-club configuration, with room for up to nine in a denser layout.

• Fold-out worktables, standard power outlets, and USB charging ports support working in flight.
• Heat-reflective windows and improved soundproofing keep the cabin cooler and quieter than earlier King Air generations.
• An enclosed private aft lavatory and refreshment center are standard.
• Baggage capacity varies by configuration; confirm allowance at booking for larger loads such as golf clubs or ski equipment.

The King Air 360 performs best on regional routes where its cabin comfort and short-field capability outweigh a light jet's speed advantage.

King Air 360 charter rates run $1,900–$2,500 per flight hour, priced at a premium within the turboprop category given its newer technology. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand. Contact Hogani Jets at charter@hoganijets.com or +1-855-660-0573 for a current quote.

The $1,900–$2,500 hourly rate covers core operational costs. Additional fees are quoted separately on every trip, which matters when comparing total trip prices.

• Aircraft operation: fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate.
• Pilots: the King Air 360 is single-pilot certified, though most operators fly it with two for charter service.
• Federal excise tax and segment fees: federally mandated, quoted separately.
• Positioning costs: charged if the aircraft must reposition to your departure airport.
• International handling fees: apply on Caribbean, Canada, and other international hops.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the King Air 350, the airframe the 360 refines, and the Citation CJ3, a light jet with meaningfully higher cruise speed. The King Air 360 wins on cabin comfort per dollar; the King Air 350 offers a very similar mission at a lower typical rate, and the CJ3 wins on speed once budget allows the step up.

Every King Air 360 charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking, with ARGUS, Wyvern, or IS-BAO ratings considered where they exist as one part of that review.

The King Air 360 is single-pilot certified but typically flies with two pilots in charter service, supported by a Pro Line Fusion avionics suite with an automated ThrustSense throttle, terrain awareness, and traffic alerting. Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft. Every King Air 360 charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier whose crew, maintenance, and operations remain under that carrier's independent operational control.

The King Air 360 is a strong fit on shorter regional legs where its comfortable cabin and short-field capability outperform a light jet's speed advantage. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most relevant charter corridors.
