The Iszada IA-131 is a mid sized, narrow-body, short to medium range jet liner produced by Iszada Aircraft Corporation between 1982-2012. The IA-131 features a twinjet layout, as well as a glass cockpit, a conventional tail, and a supercritical wing. The IA-131 was positioned between the Airbus A320 and the Airbus A300. Despite Iszada's incorporation into Airbus in 1993, production of the IA-131 continued under its original name.
The IA-131 was produced in two fuselage lengths, and was also produced in a cargo variant (Airbus also converts IA-131s into cargo aircraft). The IA-131-10 features a range of 8,150 km, while the ER version features a range of 10,300 km. All versions of the IA-131 are powered by the Ketas KT420 series engines. The ER variants are also some of the first aircraft to feature split-winglets. Kathic Allonian placed the IA-131 into service in 1984, and the aircraft succeeded earlier narrow body aircraft on longer routes. After the aircraft was granted ETOPs certification, it began to be used on intercontinental routes. The aircraft was popular with Auroran mainline and charter airlines, as well as cargo airlines.

Government, military, and corporate
The IA-131 has been ordered by several governments as transport aircraft.
Kathic Air Force: The Kathic Air Force operates 9 IA-131-10ERs, mainly used to operate to airports that cannot accommodate the main A340-500. The type was ordered in 2003, with 9 delivered. It is mainly used by the Deputy Prime minister, the Royal Family, members of the cabinet, and occasionally the Prime Minister.
