The Beechcraft Denali is not yet an aircraft you can charter out of Los Angeles, 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 the company is targeting type certification and first deliveries in 2026.
Textron is developing the Denali around the GE Catalyst engine, which received its own certification in February 2025, with a flat-floor cabin targeted at six to nine seats, a targeted 285 knot cruise and a targeted 1,600 nautical miles of range. Every figure published for it 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 Los Angeles
The specifications on this page are Textron’s published targets. Until the aircraft is certified, delivered and placed on an operator’s FAR Part 135 certificate, there is no charter rate to quote and no aircraft to book, which is why this page carries neither.
If you are looking at the Denali for a Los Angeles trip, the aircraft that do this job today are the Pilatus PC-12 and the Daher TBM 900 for single-engine turbine work, and the King Air 250 or 350 if a twin is preferred. All four are in service and all four are on this site with real rates.
We will update this page with certified figures and a rate when the aircraft enters charter service. Ask us again rather than assuming.
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.
