IAI Astra SP Private Jet Charter

About the IAI IAI Astra SP

The Astra SP, introduced in 1989, is the production refinement of the Astra concept — and its defining quality is one most midsize jets of the era could not offer: you can stand up in it. IAI's design gave the SP 1.75 m of cabin headroom, the kind of stand-up room rivals reserved for larger, costlier aircraft, and wrapped it in the pragmatic, value-focused engineering that defines Israeli aerospace. The SP isn't the fastest or longest-legged midsize, but it delivers a genuinely comfortable, walk-through cabin at a price well below jets of similar room. It carries 8 passengers (up to 9) over 3,749 km at 980 km/h, with around 10 in European charter. The SP is the midsize that bought you height and value, and didn't ask you to pay for prestige.

Performance Excellence

Two crew operate the Astra SP across 3,749 km / 2,024 nm at up to 980 km/h (529 ktas) on Honeywell TFE731 turbofans. Around 10 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,700 per hour. Its case is value-for-space: stand-up cabin headroom and a flat floor at a price meaningfully below rivals offering the same room, the hallmark of IAI's pragmatic engineering. For charter buyers who prioritise cabin comfort over badge, the SP delivers more usable space per euro than most of its midsize peers.

Cabin Comfort

The Astra SP's cabin makes its case the moment you board: at 1.75 m tall, it offers stand-up headroom along its length — 5.03 m long and 1.52 m wide — that lets passengers move through the cabin upright, a comfort midsize rivals of the price often couldn't match. Eight seats arrange in a club-four and pair on a flat floor, the swept low-mounted wing leaving the cabin uninterrupted. The materials are honest rather than showy, in keeping with the SP's value positioning, but the dimension that matters — the height — is generous, and it transforms how a multi-hour flight feels. It is a cabin that spends its budget on the things passengers actually notice, headroom first among them.

High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
