N1900AIAI 1125 Astra

Overview

This entry covers airframe N1900A, a United States-registered example of the IAI-1125 Astra produced by Israel Aerospace Industries, serial number 026. Build year and detailed prior ownership history are Not published; the aircraft is recorded with a US registration and has a preserved executive configuration consistent with owner-operated or charter use. No public record of major registry actions or ownership litigation is available for this airframe. Condition and valuation specifics are Not published beyond its fitted equipment and typical market positioning for the model.

Operations & Cabin

This airframe is outfitted in a typical executive cabin accommodating 6-9 passengers in a conventional business layout, reflecting its role as a corporate or light charter transport. The flight deck is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite, supporting modern navigation, communications and flight management capabilities appropriate to long-range executive missions. Typical mission profiles for N1900A would include transcontinental and continental-range trips up to its published 3,112 nm range at cruise speeds near 465 kts, operating from US bases and regional corporate terminals. Maintenance considerations align with the twin Honeywell TFE731-series turbofan engine program and airframe logistics for the Astra family; no unique aftermarket modifications or bespoke amenities are published for this serial.

Model & Market Context

The IAI-1125 Astra family occupies a mid-size executive jet niche, offering long range and high cruise speeds with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, competing with contemporaries in the light-to-midsize business-jet sector. Demand typically comes from owner-operators, charter firms and corporate flight departments requiring transcontinental capability and executive interiors for 6-9 passengers. Maintenance and resale factors hinge on engine time on wing under the Honeywell TFE731 support structure and the presence of factory-era avionics like Collins Pro Line 4, which can affect lifecycle upgrade costs and marketability.
