The Beechcraft Denali is not yet an aircraft you can charter out of Orlando, and we would rather say that plainly than take a booking we cannot fill. Textron’s single-engine turboprop first flew in November 2021 and is currently working through FAA type certification.
Textron is developing the Denali around the GE Catalyst engine, which received its own certification in February 2025, targeting a flat-floor cabin for six to nine seats, 285 knots cruise and 1,600 nautical miles of range. Every published figure is a manufacturer target rather than a certified specification, and the aircraft was rebranded from Cessna Denali to Beechcraft Denali during development. Every Beechcraft Denali we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Beechcraft Denali Fits Orlando
The specifications on this page are Textron’s published development targets. The Denali is in certification and is not yet available for charter; there is no FAR Part 135 operator flying passengers on it and no rate to quote. When it does enter service, its single-engine turboprop economics and targeted range would suit the Orlando market well, including Bahamas crossings, Caribbean hops, and the Florida regional pattern.
If you are looking at the Denali for an Orlando trip today, the aircraft doing this work now are the Pilatus PC-12 and the Daher TBM 900 for single-engine turbine performance, and the King Air 250 or King Air 360 if a twin is preferred. All four are in service, certified, and on this site.
We will update this page with certified figures and a rate when the Denali enters charter service. Ask us rather than assuming the target specs are what you will fly.
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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
