The IAI 1125 Astra SPX occupies the midsize, high-performance business jet niche with transcontinental range and high cruise speed, offering capabilities competitive with other late-1990s small-to-midsize business jets. With twin Honeywell TFE731-40R-200G engines producing 4,250 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type is valued by operators for efficient cruise, altitudes that avoid traffic and weather, and operator flexibility between executive and higher-density seating. Buyer and charter demand typically hinge on interior configuration, maintenance history and avionics fit, all of which influence resale considerations for airframes of this vintage.
