"WESTWIND II, Private Jet Charter!"
The Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Westwind (formerly Aero Commander 1121 Jet Commander) is a business jet that became a cornerstone of the Israeli aircraft manufacturing industry and remained in production for 20 years.

The Westwind was originally designed in the United States by Aero Commander as a development of its twin-propeller namesake aircraft, first flying on January 27, 1963 as the Aero Commander 1121 Jet Commander.
It was of broadly conventional business jet arrangement, with two engines mounted in nacelles carried on the rear fuselage.
However the wings were mounted halfway up the fuselage instead of the typical low-wing arrangement of aircraft in this class.
After successful testing, the aircraft was put into series production with deliveries to customers beginning in early 1965.
Jet Commander production amounted to 150 aircraft in the United States and Israel before IAI undertook a series of modifications to create the 1123 Westwind.
These included stretching the fuselage and increased maximum takeoff, maximum landing, and maximum zero-fuel weights, with the wing modified to incorporate double-slotted flaps and drooped leading edges and tip tanks.
There were also numerous airframe modifications, such as drooped leading edges on the wings, a dorsal fin, revised engine pylons and nacelles.
This further increases in maximum takeoff, maximum landing, and maximum zero-fuel weights.
With improvements to a number of onboard systems incorporated as well, these changes resulted in the 1124 Westwind delivered from 1976.
In 1980, deliveries of the Model 1124A commenced; modifications included a new wing centre-section and the addition of winglets to the tips.
The revamped aircraft was called the Westwind II, replacing the original design in production.
IAI built its last Westwind in 1987, after a total of 442 Jet Commanders and Westwinds had been built, switching production to the Astra.
Private jet charters on the Westwind provide you and your guests with access to a wider variety of destinations compared to commercial airline flights.
You will enjoy hosting a business meeting in this well-appointed jet when pressed for time.
In a matter of hours, Charter Flight Group can arrange private jet charters on the Westwind. The Westwind accommodates a crew of two pilots and up to 9 passengers.
The dimensions of the roomy cabin are 15.5 feet in length, 4.9 feet in height and 4.8 feet wide, so you and your guests will enjoy space similar to the Learjet 55.
Amenities include a private lavatory, a galley refreshment center, and ample baggage space for skis and golf clubs.
The wings are located well behind the cabin which provides a quiet space for working or relaxing. The Westwind is a great solution for your jet aircraft charters.
The Westwind II has an identifiable low-slung fuselage, reminiscent of the Aero Commander from which it is derived.
