King Air 350i Charter: Miami to New York
Published
There is a reason the King Air 350i turns up wherever serious people fly turboprops: it is the biggest, most settled expression of the formula Beechcraft (Textron Aviation) has built since the sixties. A 19 ft 6 in cabin seats eight in a genuine double-club, the twin PT6As shoulder East Coast weather without drama, and the whole aircraft feels bought by people who read spec sheets.
Miami to New York takes about three hours twenty minutes nonstop — 312 knots against the 1,000-mile corridor, with the 1,806-mile range making fuel planning a footnote. At $9,000 to $13,000 one-way, estimated from Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), eight travellers pay under $1,700 a seat — arguably the sharpest per-seat value in a pressurized cabin on this corridor.
- 1,806 nm range
- 312 ktas cruise

Eight seats, one aircraft: the group maths
Run the numbers the way a CFO would. Two light jets for eight people costs $30,000 and splits the party; one light jet big enough for eight barely exists; a midsize jet starts around $17,000. The 350i takes all eight in one cabin for $9,000–$13,000, everyone in a proper club seat with a table, and the difference in arrival time is under an hour. For sales teams heading to Manhattan, families opening the summer house, or a boys' trip returning from the Keys via Miami, that arithmetic is usually the whole decision.
The cabin earns the flagship label. Nineteen and a half feet of length means eight seats without knee negotiation, a 4 ft 9 in ceiling you only half-stoop under, and an aisle you can actually move along mid-flight. The aft compartment swallows 71 cu ft of baggage — golf for the group or a week's luggage, loaded while you pour coffee in the FBO. Cabin altitude stays comfortable at its 35,000-foot ceiling, and prop-sync keeps conversation at dinner-table volume.
Availability is the 350's ace. It is the standard large turboprop of the US charter fleet, with examples based at Opa-locka, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) and up the coast, so quotes come back fast and empty-leg positioning appears often enough to be worth watching. Crews know Teterboro Airport (TEB) and Westchester County Airport (HPN) cold. If your schedule slides two hours, the aircraft generally slides with it — flexibility the tightly-scheduled jet fleets struggle to match.
- Eight club seats in the longest cabin of the turboprop class
- About 3 h 20 m nonstop, Opa-locka to Teterboro
- Roughly $1,100–$1,600 per seat when eight fly together
- 71 cu ft of baggage: group golf trips travel whole
Chartering the 350i well
A few practical notes from arranging this type weekly. Ask for the 350i rather than the older 350 when cabin finish matters — same fuselage, quieter interior and refreshed seats — but let us quote both, because a well-kept earlier 350 at a thousand dollars less is frequently the better ticket. Confirm headcount early: the jump from eight to nine passengers changes seating from double-club comfort to a belted side-facing arrangement some guests dislike. All flights are arranged with FAA Part 135 operators flying two-pilot crews.
If the 350i is spoken for on your date, the natural moves are a King Air 260 for six or fewer, or a Phenom 300E when the budget stretches and speed suddenly matters. We will lay the options side by side with real tail numbers and itemized figures — typically within two hours of your enquiry. Either way, nobody upsells you a jet you did not ask for.

Frequently asked questions
Miami to New York in a King Air 350i — how long really?
Three hours and twenty minutes is the honest planning number, wheels to wheels. Cruise runs up to 312 knots, and with 1,806 nm of range the aircraft flies it nonstop in any season with full seats. A stiff winter headwind might stretch it toward three and a half hours.
What does the 350i cost against a light jet?
The 350i quotes $9,000–$13,000 one-way; light jets on this corridor start near $15,000 and seat fewer people comfortably. If six to eight are travelling, the King Air often halves the per-seat cost while giving up less than an hour of flight time. For two travellers, the gap narrows and a jet may make sense.
Can eleven people really fly on it?
Eleven is the certified maximum, and some aircraft carry the belted lavatory seat and side-facing couch to reach it. For a 3 h 20 m leg we recommend eight adults as the practical ceiling — every seat is then a full club chair. Nine to eleven suits short-notice team moves where togetherness beats legroom.
Which airports will we use?
Departures usually run from Opa-locka or Fort Lauderdale Executive; arrivals into Teterboro, twelve miles from Midtown, with Westchester County for Connecticut-bound passengers and Morristown when Teterboro slots tighten. The 350i's runway performance keeps every executive field on the table, so the choice follows your ground plans, not the aircraft's limits.
Is there a lavatory on board?
Yes — a private belted lavatory at the rear of the cabin, standard on the 350 series, which matters more on a three-hour-plus turboprop leg than brochures admit. There is also a refreshment center forward; operators stock it with your catering choices when you book.
