Charter a Gulfstream G100 Midsize Jet

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.

G100 charter rates typically run $3,200–$4,700 per flight hour, with variation by operator and aircraft equipment.

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.
