DESCRIPTION

The Gulfstream G100, formerly known as the Astra SPX, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-manufactured twin-engine business jet, now produced for Gulfstream Aerospace.Astra evolved from the Rockwell Jet Commander aircraft, for which IAI had purchased the manufacturing license in 1968, and the IAI Westwind.The Astra wing design was modified and with a completely new fuselage created the Galaxy (later the Gulfstream G200) business jet during the 1990s.

The original 1125 Astra was replaced in by the Astra SP, announced in 1989 of which 37 were built. The third variant, Astra SPX, flew in August 1994. This variant was renamed G100 from September 2002 following Gulfstream's acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace, which held the Astra certifications, in May 2001. IAI builds G100s in Israel and then flies the completed airframes to the United states for interior outfitting.

There is a great variation in the sort of benefit that each provides - one huge difference is luxury. But, nowadays, private plane charters have become economically budget friendly, by people who would wish to travel by air, sans numerous of restraints and who have time restraints. The economy, growing gas fees and federal rules, have a great deal regarding with increased operating costs, which highly affects the commercial airline market’s success or failure. Private aircraft travel and commercial flight costs have pretty much come to level with each other, making it a traveler's pick of travel.Gathering momentum against a legislation that will noticeably hamper private aircraft hires, is the Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). This recommended regulation directly targets private jet hires, connecting them to the national security rules for all air travel.
