“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.”

The King Air series aircraft has long been a customer favorite since its introduction in 1964. The legendary turboprop is synonymous with unwavering reliability, exceptional performance and unparalleled versatility, earning the trust and preference of operators worldwide.

New Crimson exterior scheme

One of the first noticeable attributes of the new “Crimson Edition” King Air is the iconic Beechcraft “B” on the aircraft’s tail. The exterior paint scheme showcases a metallic-like crimson, silver and black paint scheme. The aircraft’s new boarding step has hidden fasteners that create a sleeker appearance for entry, and its graphite silver finish perfectly matches the new exterior and interior.

Stunning custom interior

The special-edition interior is inspired by the King Air’s proud history, seamlessly integrating a number of Beechcraft elements like the familiar “B” logo on lower sidewalls and the aft cabin bulkhead panel. The dark leather seats feature Alcantara accent panels and crimson accent piping, while also bringing together subtle design elements to signal the aircraft’s diamond anniversary. Charcoal carpeting is highlighted by crimson arcs that complement the aircraft’s exterior striping, elevating its luxurious ambience.

“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.”
