Astra Private Jet Charter

Astra Jet Charter Information

The Performance of an Astra makes it an Ace Among Luxury Private Jets

When competition among the manufacturers of luxury private jets really started to ramp up in the 1980s, Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI)  set the bar high with the Astra. The result is a business jet charter that exemplifies power and design, making it a leading aircraft in the mid-size class. As decades pass, the Astra is still highly sought after in the private aviation market because it offers passengers big benefits, like:

• Style
• Comfort
• Speed
• Range
• Amenities

While the 536 mph cruise speed is impressive in its own right, the Astra also boasts an astounding range of 2,850 nautical miles, placing it among the best luxury private jets in terms of overall performance. These two features alone make the Astra an ideal choice for those planning transcontinental itineraries.

A Proven Performer

This powerful twin-engine corporate jet requires 5,250 feet of takeoff distance, allowing it to land at airports that typical commercial airliners can’t access. And a maximum service ceiling of 41,000 feet, coupled with a clime rate of 3,500 feet per minute, means the Astra has the ability to soar above inclement weather when needed.

While the cabin interior isn’t the largest in its class, it’ll comfortable accommodate six passengers, though the aircraft is certified for a maximum of nine passengers. The lengthy 17-foot cabin provides plenty of room to stretch out your legs, and with a cabin height of 5.6 feet, you can move about with ease.

The Astra’s club-and-a-half seating style allows the inclusion of two other important cabin amenities:

• Full-width lavatory in the aft
• Forward galley

When the Astra first entered the civilian aviation market in 1986, it was designated the 1125. The SP model replaced it in 1989, after which it became the SPX in 1994. The latter version comes equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics system.

Gulfstream acquired the manufacturing rights to the Astra SPX in 2002, and they renamed it the Gulfstream G100.
