How much does a Beechcraft King Air C90GTx cost?

Several things will determine the price of a used Beechcraft King Air C90GTx, including the year of production, the number of hours flown or flight cycles on the airframe and engines, and modifications, retrofits and upgrades in the cabin and cockpit – plus the time remaining before the next expensive overhaul or inspection.

The value will also be driven by the basic supply and demand principles. Where a greater proportion of the fleet is for sale, buyers command a stronger negotiating position in the market, whereas when a lower percentage of the fleet is for sale, sellers tend to drive the ask price more.

AvBuyer Opinion: Carrying forward a legacy of dependability carved out by the King Air 90-series since the 1960s, the C90GTx ups the ante with a higher MTOW, more available payload with full fuel, and winglets – all of which combine with modern avionics, to make this aircraft a sophisticated workhorse popular across a wide range of mission types.
