Charter of a Gulfstream G100 starts at $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. Gulfstream produced the G100 from 2002 to 2006. It is a Gulfstream rebranding of the IAI Astra SPX. It seats up to eight passengers across a 3,100-nautical-mile range at 475 knots. Honeywell TFE731-40R engines produce 4,250 lbf each. Hogani Jets coordinates each G100 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

The G100 is the same aircraft as the IAI Astra SPX with a different badge. Gulfstream acquired the platform in 2001 and continued production under its own name. The engineering stayed Israeli. The support network became Gulfstream's.

Winglets and the TFE731-40R engine define this platform visually and mechanically. The 3,100-nautical-mile range exceeds most aircraft in the midsize category. Its nearest successor, the Gulfstream G150, offers a wider cabin but slightly less published range.

The IAI Astra SPX first flew in August 1994 and was the platform Gulfstream acquired. Gulfstream rebranded it the G100 in September 2002. Production continued through 2006 before attention shifted to the G150. A total of 77 Astra SPX and G100 aircraft were built across both production periods.

Nothing changed in the aircraft itself. Only the name and support infrastructure changed.

Israel Aircraft Industries developed the Astra SPX through three generations. The SPX introduced winglets, the TFE731-40R engine, and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics. Gulfstream acquired IAI's executive jet division in May 2001. The rebranding to G100 took effect in September 2002.

What Gulfstream brought was its worldwide support network. Parts availability, authorized service centers, and technical documentation transferred to Gulfstream's infrastructure. Operators who chartered a G100 after 2002 accessed that support structure.

The US Navy also took notice. The Navy operates the G100 as the C-38A Courier at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. It serves as a chase plane, radar test target, and pilot proficiency aircraft. Military adoption of a charter platform is an uncommon validation of its reliability.

Yes. The Gulfstream G100 and the IAI Astra SPX are the same aircraft. The airframe, engines, avionics, and cabin dimensions are identical.

Hogani Jets has a separate page for the IAI Astra SPX covering the 1994 to 2001 production period. This page covers the G100 as built from 2002 to 2006 under the Gulfstream name. When booking, aircraft in either era share the same specifications.

The distinction that matters most in charter is support infrastructure. G100-era aircraft benefit from Gulfstream's global parts network. Both eras use the same engines and avionics.

A midsize jet trades some efficiency for more cabin room, range, and capacity than a light jet provides.

More range: 3,100 nautical miles exceeds most midsize jets and approaches super midsize territory.
More seats: up to 8 passengers versus 4 to 6 for most light jets.
Better ceiling: 45,000 ft clears most commercial traffic and weather.
Trade-off: narrower cabin (4.75 ft) than most contemporary midsize competitors.
Best mission: long-range executive trips where range matters more than cabin width.

The G100 seats up to eight passengers. Standard layouts run six or seven.

A four-seat club arrangement with a forward-facing seat bank is the standard layout.
Cabin height is 5.5 feet; most passengers under approximately 5 feet 5 inches stand upright.
A full-width aft lavatory is standard on all G100 configurations.
Engines mounted high and far aft reduce cabin noise compared to standard rear-engine placements.
A skylight window above the forward cabin area lets natural light into the seating area.
Large oval signature windows flood the cabin with natural light.

The G100's 3,100-nautical-mile range is among the longest in the midsize category. It handles most transcontinental US routes nonstop.

The most relevant comparisons are the Gulfstream G150 and the Hawker 800XP. The G150 is the direct successor with a wider, longer cabin. The Hawker 800XP is a contemporary midsize with a wider cabin and nine-passenger capacity.

Every G100 charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking.

The G100 carries Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics with integrated weather radar and terrain awareness. Two certificated pilots are required; the aircraft is not single-pilot certified. Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft.

Every charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier under that carrier's independent operational control.

The G100's long-range capability makes it suitable for transcontinental routes that require a midsize aircraft. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most relevant corridors.

Miami to Chicago private jet charter

Relationship	Aircraft	When to Consider
Direct Successor	Gulfstream G150	Wider cabin (+12 in), one additional passenger, same cruise speed
Same Platform (Earlier Era)	IAI Astra SPX	Identical aircraft built 1994–2001 under the IAI name
Contemporary Alternative	Hawker 800XP	Wider cabin and 9-passenger capacity; shorter range
Turboprop Value Alternative	Beechcraft King Air 350	Lower hourly cost and shorter-field access

How much does it cost to charter a Gulfstream G100?

G100 charter rates typically run $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour, with variation by operator. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

Is the Gulfstream G100 the same as the IAI Astra SPX?

Yes. The G100 is the IAI Astra SPX under a Gulfstream name. Gulfstream acquired IAI's executive jet division in 2001 and rebranded the Astra SPX the G100 in September 2002. Airframe, engines, and cabin dimensions are identical.

How many passengers can the G100 carry?

The G100 seats up to eight passengers. Standard layouts seat six or seven.

What is the real range of a Gulfstream G100?

Published figures show up to 3,100 nautical miles. Realistic range with a full cabin runs somewhat lower depending on routing and fuel reserves.

What replaced the Gulfstream G100?

The Gulfstream G150 replaced the G100. Gulfstream announced the G150 in September 2002 — the same month the G100 designation went live. The G150 has a wider fuselage (+12 in), a longer aft section (+16 in), and uprated engines. G100 production ended in 2006 when the G150 fully took over.

Was the G100 used as a military aircraft?

Yes. The United States Navy operates the G100 as the C-38A Courier at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. It serves as a chase plane, radar test target, and pilot proficiency aircraft.

Are empty leg flights available on the Gulfstream G100?

Yes. Empty-leg opportunities arise on repositioning flights. Availability is short-notice and date-fixed, so Hogani Jets recommends flexibility when pursuing empty-leg pricing.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All G100 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers holding full operational and regulatory control.
