Turboprops are the most cost-efficient way to fly private, built for short regional trips and access to the small, short, and unpaved runways that jets can’t reach.
This category spans from nimble single-engine turboprops seating 4 to 6 up to twin-engine King Airs with room for up to 11 passengers and a cabin that rivals a light jet. Below, compare every turboprop in our network, see typical hourly pricing, and request an instant quote for your route.
What Defines a Turboprop?
A turboprop is a private aircraft powered by a turbine engine driving a propeller rather than a jet turbofan, typically offering 1,000 to 1,900 nautical miles of range and seating for 4 to 11 passengers.
Turboprops burn less fuel than a jet of comparable size, cost 30–50% less per hour to charter, and can land on runways as short as 3,000 feet — including grass and gravel strips that jets simply can’t use.
Who Charters a Turboprop?
- Budget-conscious private flyers who want the convenience of on-demand charter at the lowest hourly rate
- Travelers to remote or seasonal destinations without a large commercial airport nearby, ski towns, island strips, ranch airfields
- Regional business travelers making short hops under 3 hours
- Groups of 6–11 who need extra seating without stepping up to a light jet’s hourly rate
Single-Engine vs. Twin-Engine Turboprop: What’s the Difference?
The difference is engine count, cabin size, and mission profile, not comfort level:
- A single-engine turboprop, such as the Pilatus PC-12 NGX or Daher TBM 960, is certified for single-pilot operation, seats 4 to 6, and is the most fuel-efficient option for short, direct trips.
- A twin-engine turboprop, such as the Beechcraft King Air 350i or 360, adds a second engine, a larger stand-up cabin, and seating for up to 11, making it the preferred choice for larger groups, and for operators and clients who prefer the redundancy of a second engine on longer or more demanding routes.
Both classes access the same short and unpaved runways, the choice mainly comes down to group size and route.
