Turboprops flying out of Opa-locka handle Florida and Southeast trips for a small group at a lower hourly cost than most jets.
The Beechcraft Denali is a turboprop. It seats 6 to 9 with a published range of 1,600 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 285 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 31,000 feet, 48 cubic feet of baggage volume and a lavatory.
The Denali is still in development, and the figures on this page are Textron’s published targets rather than certified numbers. It is not yet available for charter, and your advisor can suggest a turboprop that is.
Until the Denali is certified, Opa-locka clients who want a turboprop for trips around Florida can choose from aircraft flying today, such as the single-engine Pilatus PC-12 or the twin-engine King Air 350, and your advisor will compare the cabin and the cost for the trip.

Flying from Opa-locka
South Florida’s rainy season brings afternoon thunderstorms through the summer, so a morning departure is often the smoother choice.
Smaller aircraft fly from Opa-locka as well as Miami Executive in south Miami-Dade, and the operator confirms the airport at each end on your quote. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Charter Availability
The Beechcraft Denali is not on the charter market yet, which is why this page has no hourly rate. Textron Aviation expects to finish flight testing in October 2026 and to bring the aircraft into service in 2027, and once charter operators add it to their fleets, we will be able to quote it and will add pricing here. Until then, your advisor can suggest a turboprop that is flying today, such as the Pilatus PC-12 or the King Air 350.

- Beechcraft King Air 250
- Beechcraft King Air 260
