The Gulfstream G100, G150, and IAI Astra SPX are the Israeli-heritage midsize jets that reach nearly 3,000 nautical miles from Dallas, putting DFW clients within nonstop range of both coasts and the Caribbean on an aircraft that fits a six- to seven-person team. For Dallas-based principals who fly frequently to New York and the Northeast, the range margin on this platform is better than most midsize competitors.
IAI developed the Astra SPX in Israel and the platform was subsequently marketed as the Gulfstream G100 and developed into the improved G150. The G150, the most capable variant, seats 6 to 7 passengers and reaches 2,950 nautical miles. The supercritical wing and aft-mounted engines give the aircraft good cruise performance at altitude, though the narrower cabin cross-section is a trade-off against the range advantage. Full specifications for the Gulfstream G100 / G150 / IAI Astra SPX are published by Gulfstream Aerospace.

Why the Gulfstream G100 / G150 / IAI Astra SPX Fits Dallas
Dallas to New York at roughly 1,500 nautical miles sits well within the G100/G150 range, leaving more fuel margin than the Citation Excel or XLS on the same routing. For a Dallas executive team of five or six who runs the New York corridor regularly, the range comfort on this aircraft means the crew is not making payload decisions before every departure.
The 2,950-nautical-mile range also opens nonstop Dallas to Caribbean routes. Dallas to Cancun at around 850 nautical miles, Dallas to Nassau at roughly 1,500 nautical miles: both sit inside the envelope without fuel planning becoming a factor. For Park Cities or Southlake families heading to a Caribbean property for long weekends, this platform covers the route on a single leg.
The G150’s field performance is good enough for KADS and KDAL without restriction, and the aircraft can use shorter alternative airports across Texas and the Southwest when itineraries call for flexibility. The trade-off is cabin width: the narrower fuselage is tighter than the Citation Excel or Legacy 450 for a six-person group on a three-hour leg.

- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.

At $4,500 to $5,800 per hour, the G100/G150 family prices similarly to the Citation XLS but offers more range. On Dallas corridors where nonstop reach is the priority, it is worth comparing against the fuller-cabin Legacy 450.
