Turboprops do a particular job for Delaware clients: they reach the small fields that jets cannot use, and they do it economically on a short leg.
Beechcraft (Textron Aviation) introduced the Beechcraft King Air 100 in 1969. It is flown by a crew of 1 to 2. The type carries 6 to 8 passengers, cruises at 234 knots, tops out at 28,000 feet, covers 1,325 nautical miles and holds 54 cubic feet of baggage. Every Beechcraft King Air 100 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 100 Fits Delaware
Out of Delaware these normally operate from New Castle (KILG) or Delaware Coastal (KGED), and a turboprop can also use Summit (KEVY).
A published range of 1,325 nautical miles brings West Palm Beach, Miami, Naples, Florida and Nassau within reach of Delaware, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.
Through the summer the Sussex County beaches drive demand toward Delaware Coastal, which has no control tower and is attended from eight in the morning until six in the evening, so timings there are worth agreeing early.
The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

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.
- 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.
