Gulfstream G100 Charter Flights

Gulfstream G100 Charter Flight Information

When competition among the manufacturers of luxury private jets really started to ramp up in the 1980’s, Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI) tried to set the bar high with the Astra. The result is a business jet that exemplifies power and design, making it a leading aircraft in the mid-size class.

Known today as the Gulfstream G1, the Astra is still highly sought after on the charter plane market because it offers the complete package:

• 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 3,579, placing it among the best luxury private jets in terms of performance. These two features make the Astra an ideal choice for those planning transcontinental itineraries.

This powerful twin-engine corporate jet requires 5,250 feet of takeoff distance, allowing it to fly to a greater number of airports than commercial airlines can access. A maximum service ceiling of 45,000 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.

And while the cabin’s interior isn’t the largest in its class, it’ll seat six passengers in impeccable comfort (the aircraft is certified for a maximum of nine). 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.
