Switzerland's Haute Aviation gets US nod for Falcon jets

Haute Aviation, based in Saanen/Gstaad, has obtained Part 129 Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) approval from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The approval enables the company to operate Falcon jets under the FAA’s regulations for Part 129 air carriers.

The update comes from ch-aviation and concerns the firm’s ability to conduct international operations with Falcon aircraft under U.S. oversight. The specific operational scope within Part 129 was not detailed in the provided material.

The FAA’s issuance of OpSpecs marks a regulatory milestone for Haute Aviation, aligning its operations with U.S. aviation standards for international charter activity. The article does not specify the model designations or the number of jets covered by the approval.

The report indicates this recognition by the FAA as a notable development for Haute Aviation, but it does not provide dates beyond the publication timestamp. No information is provided on flight routes, safety records, or future fleet plans beyond the approval.
