PlaneFox tracks 1 Beechcraft King Air 100 aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
The Beechcraft King Air 100 is a pressurized twin turboprop developed by Beech Aircraft as a larger, higher capacity member of the early King Air family. The Model 100 first flew in 1969 and production of the 100 series continued through the early 1980s, including the A100 and B100 variants. It sits between the smaller King Air 90 series and the later King Air 200, offering a longer cabin and improved passenger capacity while retaining the short field utility and straightforward systems that made the King Air line popular with corporate, charter, medical and government operators.
Typical cruise performance for the Beechcraft King Air 100 family is in the low to mid 200 knot range, depending on variant, engine fit, weight and altitude. Practical range is commonly around 1,000 nautical miles with reserves in many operating profiles, again varying by fuel, payload and configuration. The aircraft is known for useful load figures generally around 4,000 lb, making it attractive for passenger, baggage and special mission work. Service ceiling is approximately 24,850 feet. Original Model 100 and A100 aircraft use Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A series turboprops, while the B100 is distinct for its Garrett, later Honeywell, TPE331 turboprops.
The King Air 100 cabin is longer than the King Air 90 cabin and is typically arranged for six to eight passengers, with club seating, an aft belted lavatory on many aircraft and a separate cockpit for one or two pilots depending on certification and operation. Buyers should expect significant variation because many interiors have been refurbished over decades of service. Avionics are equally aircraft specific. Original panels were commonly built around Collins or Bendix equipment, while upgraded examples may include Garmin GTN navigators, GNS units, Garmin G600 or G500 style flight displays, modern transponders, ADS-B compliance and replacement engine instrumentation.
Prospective buyers should separate the Model 100, A100 and B100 carefully, since engine type, maintenance practices and operating economics differ. Key review items include engine times and hot section status, propeller times, pressurization system condition, corrosion history, landing gear maintenance, fuel system condition, de-ice equipment and the quality of avionics and interior upgrades. The B100 can appeal to buyers comfortable with TPE331 operations, while A100 aircraft retain the PT6A familiarity many King Air operators prefer. In current PlaneFox used-market data, Beechcraft King Air 100 asking prices average about EUR 3,250,000, with examples ranging from roughly EUR 1,090,000 to EUR 7,500,000, reflecting major differences in variant, refurbishment standard, avionics and remaining engine life.
