We’ve Grown Again

Fast Air is pleased to introduce two additional Beechcraft King Air 200 which came into service over the summer. “The King Air has become increasingly popular with our customers” says Dylan Fast “once people fly in the King Air they really appreciate its comfort and speed”. Fast Air's fleet now includes six King Air 200 aircraft including two dedicated to our MedEvac Division and operated from bases in Thompson and Norway House.

In addition to passenger comfort and speed the King Air 200 has the short field capabilities to carry out almost any kind of flight in the world.  It can handle a maximum payload of 2,440 pounds and access smaller communities that many jets are unable to utilize. The King Air is the world’s most popular turbine airplane in business aviation with over 6,000 aircraft operating in over 94 countries worldwide.  Click here for more King Air info.
