Aruba King Air 90 Charter

For Aruba clients, a turboprop makes sense on a shorter flight, while the long run down from the mainland usually calls for a jet.

Beechcraft introduced the King Air 90 in 1971. It seats 4 to 6 with a published range of 840 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 226 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 30,000 feet, 53 cubic feet of baggage volume and a lavatory.

Why the King Air 90 Fits Aruba

With 840 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips between Aruba and destinations such as San Juan, allowing for reserves and routing. Aruba sits on the southern edge of the hurricane belt, but hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, and a storm farther north can affect the flight down.

For an aircraft in this class, a trip from the mainland usually includes one or more fuel stops, and on the island every private flight uses Queen Beatrix International in Oranjestad. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and your advisor confirms it with the operator before the trip is booked.

How Aruba Clients Use the King Air 90

For a small group on a shorter leg, a turboprop is a sensible choice, and your advisor will tell you when the distance calls for a jet instead.

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.
