AeroClassifieds connects buyers worldwide with a curated selection of new and pre owned turboprop aircraft. Turboprops deliver a compelling combination of fuel efficiency, short field performance, and lower operating costs compared to jet powered alternatives, making them a preferred choice for regional operators, charter companies, and private owners who value versatility.
Turboprop aircraft excel on routes between 200 and 1,200 nautical miles, where their fuel burn advantage over jets is most pronounced. Their ability to operate from unpaved, short, or high altitude runways opens access to thousands of airports that larger aircraft simply cannot reach. For operators serving rural communities, island destinations, or mountainous terrain, a turboprop is often the only practical solution.
Modern turboprops offer pressurised cabins, advanced avionics suites, and cruise speeds exceeding 300 knots, narrowing the comfort and speed gap with light jets while maintaining significantly lower hourly costs.
Single engine turboprops are among the most versatile aircraft in general aviation. The Pilatus PC 12 has become the benchmark in this segment, offering a large cabin, impressive range, and genuine rough field capability. The Daher TBM series holds the distinction of being the fastest single engine turboprop in production, appealing to owner pilots who prioritise speed. The Piper Meridian provides an accessible entry point for pilots stepping up from piston aircraft. Read our detailed guides on the Pilatus PC 12, TBM 850, and Piper Meridian for more information.
Twin engine turboprops are favoured by charter operators and corporate flight departments that require the redundancy and payload capacity of two engines. The Beechcraft King Air family has been the industry standard for decades, with the King Air 350 offering a spacious cabin, long range, and outstanding reliability. The Cessna Caravan series serves utility and cargo roles worldwide, while the De Havilland Twin Otter remains a favourite for rugged operations. See our guides on the King Air 350 and King Air B200 for in depth analysis.
When evaluating a turboprop for purchase, pay close attention to propeller condition and overhaul status, engine time since hot section inspection, and the state of any corrosion prevention programmes. Turboprops that have operated in coastal or humid environments may require more thorough structural inspections. Avionics upgrades, particularly the transition to Garmin G1000 NXi or Proline Fusion flight decks, can significantly affect resale value and pilot appeal.
