The Beechcraft King Air 250 is the contemporary twin turboprop that Dallas energy executives and corporate travelers book most often for West Texas routes where a jet would be more aircraft than the distance justifies. Seven to nine seats, 1,720 nautical miles of range, and a PT6-powered airframe that Texas operators know well.
Beechcraft introduced the King Air 250 as a refinement of the 200 series, adding winglets, an enhanced flight deck, and improved PT6A-52 engines. Seven to nine seats, 310 knots cruise, a ceiling of 35,000 feet, and 1,720 nautical miles of range. The winglets improved fuel efficiency compared to earlier 200-series variants. Every Beechcraft King Air 250 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Beechcraft King Air 250 Fits Dallas
Dallas to Midland-Odessa is approximately 300 nautical miles, Dallas to Lubbock around 280, and Dallas to Abilene about 150. These are the routes where Dallas Permian Basin energy clients consistently choose the King Air 250 over a jet: the fields at the destination are short enough or congested enough that a turboprop is the practical choice, and the King Air’s PT6 reliability on these routes is established across decades of Texas operations.
Addison Airport (KADS) in Addison, TX is the most convenient Metroplex FBO for King Air 250 charter. The 7,203-foot runway is well above what the aircraft requires, and the three FBOs on field, Atlantic Aviation, Million Air Dallas, and Galaxy FBO, all handle turboprop traffic routinely. A Park Cities or Legacy West client can be at KADS and airborne for Midland in 30 minutes of ground time.
The 1,720-nautical-mile range opens occasional longer turboprop sectors from the Metroplex: Dallas to Laredo at roughly 380 nautical miles, Dallas to Amarillo at approximately 365, and Dallas to El Paso at around 550. For clients who want a single turboprop to handle both the standard short Texas hop and the occasional longer West Texas or border run, the 250 covers both without a category change.
