Beechcraft King Air 200: US Fleet Statistics

The FAA aircraft registry lists 999 Beechcraft King Air 200 aircraft with a valid registration as of July 11, 2026. The Beechcraft King Air 200 is a multi-engine airplane, and this family groups every registered variant of the Beechcraft 200 together. It ranks #44 by registration count among the model families tracked in this dataset.

These counts come from the FAA MASTER file and reflect aircraft with an active “valid” registration status.

The median registered Beechcraft King Air 200 was manufactured in 1989. Most were built between 1978 and 2014, and manufacture years across the registered fleet span roughly 1975 to 2023. A manufacture year is on file for 844 of the 999 registered aircraft.

The FAA registry lists 999 Beechcraft King Air 200 aircraft with a valid US registration — about 7.2% of all turboprop-powered aircraft in the US crewed fleet, and #44 of the 75 model families tracked here. The registered fleet carries a median manufacture year of 1989, newer than the overall US general-aviation fleet, whose median airframe dates to 1979. By state, Texas, Delaware, and California together account for 28.2% of the fleet, and the top ten states hold 55.0%.

King Air 200 registrations cluster in states with large business-aviation and energy sectors, and Texas leads the list. Kansas also ranks high, which fits: the King Air line is built in Wichita, and many airframes stay registered near where they are supported. Delaware and Utah appear larger than their populations would suggest because a meaningful share of higher-value turboprops are held by owner trusts and LLCs registered there rather than based there.

The registered 200 fleet skews notably older than the newer 300/350 series. A large population of 1980s and 1990s airframes remains in active service, which speaks to the type’s longevity but also means many tails carry decades of inspection, overhaul, and equipment history that has to be tracked precisely rather than remembered.

Shares are computed from the FAA registry snapshot on July 11, 2026. Engine-type share is of all turboprop-powered aircraft in the crewed US fleet; state shares are of all 999 registered Beechcraft King Air 200 aircraft.

The Beechcraft King Air 200 (including the Super King Air 200 and B200) is one of the most widely operated twin-turboprops in business and utility aviation. Its cabin size, short-field access, and ability to work airports a jet cannot make it a fixture in corporate flight departments, as well as in air-ambulance, aerial-survey, surveillance, and government fleets.

Operators range from single-aircraft owner-flown businesses to corporate departments running a small mixed fleet, alongside dedicated medevac and charter companies. In professional service the 200 is frequently flown two-crew, so crew coordination, assignment, and currency tracking matter as much as the maintenance program.

Because the type has been in continuous production for decades, an operator’s fleet often mixes airframes built years or even decades apart, each with its own maintenance status and avionics fit.
