About this aircraft
The IAI Westwind I is a midsize business jet from Israel Aircraft Industries—evolved from Jet Commander roots with stronger performance for corporate fleets of its era.
It served worldwide and led toward Westwind II and later Astra/G100 stories in the IAI lineage. Remaining airframes are mature midsize jets with specialized support versus Gulfstream or Citation volumes on today's boards.
Classic IAI midsize for specialized fleets that still operate Westwind I on regional trips.
