N22AV

This entry covers a single airframe, the executive business jet registered N22AV, a 1980-build Israel Aircraft Industries IAI-1124A Westwind II with serial number 304. The aircraft is listed in US civil registry and is owned by AVALAIR AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US; the current record indicates operation from that organization’s Houston base. The airframe’s 1980 manufacture and continued corporate ownership mark it as a mature Westwind II example maintained in civilian US registry. Publicly noted registry actions are limited to the current ownership entry and standard airworthiness listing; no extraordinary valuation or condition disclosures are published in the supplied data.

The subject airframe is configured with a 12-seat executive cabin typical of Westwind II layouts, intended for short- to medium-range corporate missions within its 2,390 nm capability and high-speed cruise of 424 kts. Based in Houston under AVALAIR AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT LLC, typical operations would include regional charters, corporate positioning flights and transcontinental hops within range limits; the airframe’s twin TFE731-2B turbofan installation supports efficient cruise at a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Specific avionics fit and bespoke cabin amenities for this airframe are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations center on lifecycle support for early-production Westwind IIs and continued airworthiness management under US registry.

The IAI-1124A Westwind II occupies a niche as a compact, fast corporate twinjet from the late Cold War era, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes than many contemporaneous turboprops. Competitors include light-to-midsize turbofan business jets of the late 1970s and 1980s; buyer demand typically focuses on value-priced, mission-capable used examples. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 1980 serial 304 airframe emphasize engine program status for the TFE731-2B pair and structural/avionics modernization to meet contemporary charter and corporate standards.
