Interior
The Avanti II boasts the widest and tallest cabin of any turboprop — 6 feet 1 inch wide and 5 feet 9 inches tall — giving passengers enough room to stand comfortably. The Italian-designed interior features premium leather seating in a club-four arrangement with additional single seats, fold-out work tables, and integrated cup holders. Rear-mounted pusher propellers place the engines behind the cabin rather than alongside it, resulting in a remarkably quiet interior — quieter than many light jets. The enclosed lavatory is located at the rear, and the full refreshment center includes a coffee maker and cold storage. Large oval windows provide excellent views, and the cabin's elliptical cross-section maximizes usable space. With 50 cubic feet of baggage capacity, the Avanti II handles weekend bags and briefcases comfortably.
Ideal Routes
The Avanti II is ideal for routes under 1,200 nautical miles where its jet-like speed (402 KTAS) provides a significant time advantage over conventional turboprops, while its lower operating cost undercuts light jets. It's perfect for short business corridors and leisure routes.
Comparison
The Avanti II occupies a unique niche between turboprops and light jets. Against the King Air 350, the Avanti II is significantly faster (402 vs. 312 KTAS) with a wider, quieter cabin. The trade-off is a smaller fleet size, which can affect availability. For travelers who want light jet performance at turboprop pricing, the Avanti II is unmatched.
