The figures below summarize the performance and dimensions that matter most when you are matching an aircraft to a trip. They reflect typical configurations; exact numbers vary with weight, weather, and how a given aircraft is equipped.

With a range of approximately 3,749 nautical miles, the IAI Astra is built for nonstop, coast-to-coast and transcontinental journeys. It easily connects markets such as New York to San Francisco, Miami to Seattle, or London to Cairo on a single tank, maintaining generous reserves for peace of mind. | Long-haul domestic and select international routes are well within its comfort zone, and the Astra’s impressive performance means fewer technical stops and shorter overall travel time. The advanced wing design, high-speed cruise of 460 knots, and powerful engines combine to deliver rapid, reliable flights, while the 45,000-foot ceiling lets crews fly above most weather and traffic. | Efficient takeoff and landing requirements, with a field length of around 5,250 feet, open up access to a variety of airports—including exclusive executive or regional fields closer to your final destination. For private flyers, this means maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime, every trip.

The Astra’s cabin offers a luxurious, full stand-up environment, measuring nearly 5 feet 8 inches high and 5 feet 7 inches wide, so guests can move freely throughout the flight. | Standard configurations accommodate seven in a double-club seating layout, with some aircraft offering a three-seat divan for groups of up to nine. Flexible arrangements make it equally suitable for executive teams or families seeking comfort and privacy. | Onboard amenities include plush, ergonomic seating, fold-out work tables, ample windows for natural light, and a private aft lavatory. Many Astras have been tastefully modernized with new finishes, in-flight connectivity, and entertainment upgrades—ensuring a sophisticated and productive environment for every passenger. | A generous baggage compartment of 64 cubic feet easily fits golf clubs, skis, and luggage for a full complement. Whether for business or leisure, the quiet, well-appointed cabin transforms travel time into a truly premium experience.
