This beautiful, medium sized private jet was developed by IAI in the 1980s and is a twin-engine with 7-8 seats endowed with an impressive autonomy: 4720 km! It flies at 830 km/h and therefore competes with the best performance Private Jets in its class. Its size and maneuverability allow it to land on small lots. The Astra is a very practical light jet and is convenient for a variety of uses.

Its 5.2 meters long cabin is 1.67 meters high and very spacious. I find it well designed, as its look has not aged and does well on landing strips!

 Pilot’s advice: Renting this Astra Private Jet for 6 people is a good deal but there are very few on the market (one in Germany to my knowledge). It can be optimized for 8 and even 9 passengers but I do not recommend that because you lose range and comfort on board. This aircraft is ideal for a Paris or Brussels – Athens or Luxembourg, or a Paris – Istanbul, and also a Paris or Geneva - Moscow.
