Overview
The King Air 350 is the largest member of the King Air family, twin-turboprop aircraft that have been in production since the 1960s. It carries up to 11 passengers in a pressurised cabin and can use shorter runways than most jets.
Besides corporate and air-ambulance work, King Airs are widely used for surveillance by armed forces. The US military flew it as the MC-12W, and the Sri Lanka Air Force flies the smaller King Air B200 for maritime patrol.
