The Beechcraft King Air C90GTx is the smallest King Air in current production, and in Dallas it handles the short, light-party turboprop trips that do not need the capacity of the 250 or 260 series. Five to eight seats, 1,260 nautical miles of range, and the lowest operating cost in the King Air line.
Beechcraft developed the C90GTx as a refinement of the long-running 90 series, fitting Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-135A engines with FADEC and an updated Garmin G1000 avionics suite. Five to eight seats, a 270-knot cruise, ceiling 30,000 feet, and 1,260 nautical miles of range. The FADEC engines improved fuel burn and reduced pilot workload compared to earlier C90 variants. Every Beechcraft King Air C90GTx 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 C90GTx Fits Dallas
The C90GTx’s 1,260-nautical-mile range covers the Dallas-area short hops without leaving anything on the table: Waco (ACT) at roughly 95 nautical miles, Abilene (ABI) at about 150, San Angelo (SJT) at approximately 200, and Lubbock (LBB) at around 280. For a small party making a day trip to any of these Texas cities, the C90GTx is the most economical pressurized twin available that still carries the King Air PT6 reliability.
Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD) in south Dallas is a natural fit for C90GTx operations. No ramp or landing fees at either FBO on field, less congestion than KADS or KDAL, and a runway that handles the C90GTx with no restriction. For a client in the southern Metroplex, Oak Cliff or DeSoto-area, KRBD is closer than Addison and the smaller aircraft makes the fee-free field economics work.
The five-seat minimum makes the C90GTx an honest aircraft for a small party: two or three executives making a same-day Permian Basin or Waco trip travel lighter in a C90GTx than in a 250 and pay a rate that reflects the aircraft’s size. The FADEC engines keep the operating cost at the bottom of the King Air range without compromising the reliability that makes the line’s reputation in Texas.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
