The C90GTx entered service in 2010 as an enhanced version of earlier C90 models. It features advanced glass cockpit avionics and updated cabin refinements. The design emphasizes short-field capability and reliability.

Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop engines producing approximately 550 shaft horsepower each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches 270 knots (500 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg).

The C90GTx serves corporate, charter, and special mission roles. Its combination of performance and operating efficiency supports continued demand. The King Air line remains one of the most enduring turboprop families.
