Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Differences between variants
History
- 2007FAA certification
- 2010 - Last iteration of the C90 lineage started in 1971
The C90GTx closes a lineage of more than four decades that began with the original King Air C90 in 1971. Over the years it went through the C90A, C90B, C90SE, C90GT and C90GTi before reaching the GTx in 2010, each iteration gaining more powerful engines, modernized avionics and aerodynamic refinements. GTx production was discontinued in 2021 when Beechcraft (by then Textron Aviation) decided to focus on the King Air 260 and 360.

Brazil Fleet
The Beechcraft King Air C90 GTx is a light twin-engine turboprop with a 1,260 nm range and a 270 kt cruise speed, built from 2010 to 2021. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count, summed across the variants of the King Air C90 family, is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status is in the model's Analytics.
On 4 May 2010, Hawker Beechcraft announced the start of deliveries of the King Air C90GTx, which the release describes as recently certified, without giving the date. According to the release, the model gained composite winglets, which improve climb performance and fuel efficiency, had its maximum ramp and takeoff weights raised by 385 pounds, to 10,545 and 10,485 pounds, and carries up to seven passengers in addition to the pilot. On 24 May 2016, Beechcraft (Textron Aviation) announced FAA and EASA type certifications for the C90GTx with Pro Line Fusion avionics, with three 14-inch touchscreen displays.
Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Factory blended winglets added 4% to cruise speed
The GTx was the first C90 variant with Hawker BeechCraft blended winglets installed at the factory (not a retrofit), which added approximately 4kt of cruise speed, improved rate of climb at altitude and increased efficiency in high cruise. Visually, they also distinguish the GTx from earlier iterations.
C90 GTx does not require a type rating at the FAA
The C90 GTx (MTOW 4,581 kg) is below the 12,500 lb limit and does not require a type rating at the FAA; at ANAC it falls under the MLTE class rating, with no type rating of its own. This makes it easier to structure multi-fleet operations in charter and shared management with the King Air 250, reducing training cost.
Low operating cost among pressurized turboprops
With fuel burn of approximately 92 GPH and a total operating cost of USD 1,100/hour, the C90GTx offers the lowest operating cost among pressurized King Airs. It attracts owner-pilots moving up from pressurized pistons (Piper Meridian, Cessna 421) who need twin-engine reliability without the cost of the B200.
Limitations
Low, short cabin limits comfort on long flights
The cabin, 1.45m high, 1.37m wide and 3.84m long, is the smallest among King Airs and forces taller passengers to lean forward. On missions over 3 hours comfort degrades significantly compared with the B200/250. For this reason the C90 is typically operated on flights of up to 600nm with 4-6 passengers.
Curiosities
Discontinued model opened a vacuum in the entry-level segment
When Beechcraft ended the C90GTx in 2021, the pressurized twin-engine entry-level segment was effectively left empty, as the direct competitors (Piper Cheyenne, Cessna Conquest) were also already out of production. This keeps pre-owned C90GTx prices relatively firm (USD 1.9M-2.7M) and generated pent-up demand that manufacturers such as Daher (TBM) and Pilatus (PC-12) have been capturing with modern single turboprops.
