BEECHCRAFT KING AIR: KING CRIMSON

Special edition Beechcraft King Air unveiled.

To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Textron has unveiled a special edition ‘Crimson Edition’. The option is available for the iconic Beechcraft King Air 260 and 360 turboprops and celebrates the aircraft being the world’s best-selling business turboprop family.

“The Crimson Edition of the King Air provides customers with an immersive experience that pays tribute to the turboprop’s renowned legacy, while also featuring modern luxuries and upgrades that showcase the aircraft’s ongoing evolution,” said Christi Tannahill, senior vice president, Customer Experience. “We’re honored to celebrate a prestigious aircraft that is beloved by so many customers around the world.”

NEW EXTERIOR

Featuring a striking eye catching metallic-like crimson, silver and black colourway, the Crimson Edition is inspired by 60 years of Beechcraft customers and operators. An iconic Beechcraft “B” on the tail is a noticeable attribute, while the new boarding step now features hidden fasteners.

CUSTOM INTERIOR

Inside, the King Air’s cabin features dark leather seats with Alcantara accent panels and crimson accent piping. The crimson highlights continue in the charcoal carpet design and to finish the stylish cabin off, the familiar ‘B’ logo is located on the lower sidewalls as well as the aft cabin bulkhead panel.

“It’s a visually stunning design and one we believe will surpass customer expectations,” Tannahill said. “This edition offers customers the best flying experience they expect while paying homage to the King Air’s proud, successful history.”

The order book is open for the special edition aircraft, with deliveries beginning in 2025.
