I am not sure that King Airs are operated on regular commercial scheduled service. Even if we add them probably nobody will use them. Personally I don't see a need for anything smaller than a CRJ.
Considering we have the PC-12 it would seem like a good idea, however, we need (among other things) proof that it is used in scheduled airline service. Charters don’t count.
I agree to get the King Air models into the game. The only thing is that the AC never even getting close to FL350. It's anything between FL180-280 in order to prevent drag... (but i guess it's not important for the game).
In real world the cost (dry lease for B200) will be around 800 USD/hour. with a max. seating of 10 it could be interesting for small Airports...
Yeah, I mean if you'd like to find reasons against I'm pretty sure you'll find as many as you'd find to get it into service...
Not trying to against you, but if you are showing it as an example, i think it would be proper to make sure at least it is the case. I won't say anything if you put the Inuit Flight as an example.

Planes which are incorporated in the game are flying regularly and not on Business charter base. (However, I have not checked all these airlines in the list - but 5 of them don’t offer regular flame flights).

Hi, my above link from AirInuit proofs that B100/350 is on regular scheduled flight. Following that I’d love to see them then inside of AS
I can tell you that Pacific Coastal does not use them in scheduled service. I’m quite familiar with this airline.
While it might be interesting to see other small planes in the game, Cessna 402s as an example, maybe some Pipers. The fact is that small aircraft just aren’t that profitable. Add the anti slot blocking requirements and I’m not sure I care about them. Id rather see the Caravan on floats so we could use Seaplane airports myself.
What would be the benefit having these planes in the game?
Getting closer to reality and to serve remote airstrips around the world.
It will distress bigger airports by givin players a chance to build up something like a commuter airline with hubs as side of big airfields. PC12 is not really costfriendly while BC is (except the 90series)…
I mean you can ban them from 10 or 9 PAX rates airports if you’d like in order to prevent slot blocking.
Is a Beachcraft better in anything than other, already implemented small props? Just curious...
The KA 200/350 can seat up to 16 ( excluding flight deck) which is closing the gap between the PC12’s/B1900 and ATR/Dash’s. At the same time the cruising speed of 275/290 kts is competitive to Dash’s/ATR’s. Distances of 1,200miles can be archived just as easily. It King Air comes with very low maintenance/fuel costs and will be perfect for remote airstrips. Noice and cabin height are really amazing (much quieter than any other turboprop aircraft). It’ll be a good add-on/replacement/alternative for the B1900. Take off and landing performance are perfect for short RWY’s.
