King Air B200
Aircraft Stats
One King Air B200 is operated by JAARS-trained pilots in Papua New Guinea, where more than 600 islands rise from the tumultuous Pacific Ocean. The aircraft’s twin engines make it ideal for flights over open water, including medical evacuations to Australia.
While the B200 requires longer runways than many of our other fixed-wing aircraft, it has the greatest range and load capacity of the entire JAARS fleet. It can also travel significantly faster than our other aircraft in Papua New Guinea, making it ideal for long-distance flights.
