N789CA

This airframe, registration N789CA, is an Israel Aircraft Industries IAI-1125 Astra SP built in 1994 with manufacturer serial number 074. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by Global Air Medics LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US; the current ownership is recorded to Global Air Medics LLC. The airframe’s documented configuration and ownership identify it as an executive/medical-capable light twin designed for long regional missions. Public records indicate U.S. registration and a single listed corporate owner with Wilmington, Delaware as the declared location.

The specific airframe is fitted with an 8-place executive (club-and-a-half) layout with forward galley and full-width aft lavatory, reflecting an interior geared toward passenger comfort and short- to medium-haul corporate or charter missions. Typical missions for this configuration include transcontinental and regional executive transport or medevac/air ambulance roles operated from its documented owner base in Wilmington, Delaware. Avionics fit and recent maintenance status are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this airframe would commonly focus on twin-engine systems and the Honeywell TFE731-3C powerplants. The cabin layout with forward galley and full-width lavatory supports passenger comfort on flights approaching the aircraft’s maximum range.

The IAI-1125 Astra SP occupies a performance niche as a light, long-range twinjet offering high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, competing with other light business jets in transcontinental and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand for such airframes typically centers on operators seeking higher cruise speed and cabin amenities in an eight-seat configuration. Maintenance and resale considerations for this model focus on engine time on wing for the Honeywell TFE731 series, avionics updates, and the condition of the executive interior when valuing a 1994-built airframe like N789CA.
