ACCESS MORE AIRFIELDS AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES.<br />

The new Beechcraft King Air 250 combines the performance of lightweight<br />

composites with the legendary go-anywhere versatility of the world’s<br />

most popular twin-turboprop aircraft. Carbon fiber winglets and propellers<br />

allow takeoffs in just 2,111 feet, with faster climb, longer range and lower stall<br />

speeds. Meanwhile, its rugged and durable airframe allows the King Air 250<br />

to utilize unimproved airfi elds out of reach for other comparably-sized aircraft.<br />

In times when business opportunities are fewer and farther between, the new<br />

Beechcraft King Air 250 is the best way to make sure you don’t miss a single one.<br />

If serving smaller communities is key to your airline’s growth, the Beechcraft ® 1900D is the profi table choice. With<br />

turboprop acquisition and operating costs well below any regional jet, the 1900D helps you turn a profi t on shorter<br />

legs and smaller passenger loads. Plus, its large aft cargo door helps the 1900D carry passengers in front and revenuegenerating<br />

freight in back – a huge advantage when you’re providing more frequent service to rural locations.<br />
