King Air 350 Purchase Prices
The King Air 350 (introduced 1990, production ended 2021) has a long production run spanning many specifications. Early 350s can be purchased from around £2m; mid-2000s examples in good condition trade at £2.8m–£4m; 2015+ aircraft with glass cockpit upgrades typically reach £4.5m–£6m. The 350ER and 350i variants attract a premium.
As a well-understood twin turboprop with a broad operator and parts support network, the 350 is viewed favourably by lenders - its resale market is liquid by aviation standards.
Finance Structures
Hire purchase and finance lease are the most common structures for King Air 350 finance. For AOC operators, some lenders will structure repayments around projected utilisation. We regularly arrange balloon payment structures to align monthly costs with operational budgets.
For aircraft being used in mixed private/charter operations, we advise upfront on the most tax-efficient ownership structure to avoid VAT complications at purchase.
Twin-Engine vs Single-Engine Lender Appetite
Some lenders apply different criteria to twin-engine aircraft - particularly around insurance requirements and minimum pilot experience. We pre-qualify your profile against lender criteria so there are no surprises at credit stage. Most specialist aviation lenders are comfortable with the King Air 350 type.
