Rizon Jet, which has headquarters in Doha, Qatar, has announced that it has achieved certification as a FAR Part 129 foreign air carrier in the US. The news comes after the company underwent a lengthy application process and was approved by a handful of governing bodies including the US Department of Transportation and finally the Federal Aviation Administration. As a result, Rizon will now be able to run less restricted transatlantic operations.

Company ceo captain Hassan Al-Mousawi comments: “An increasing demand from our client base for transatlantic flights deemed it essential to invest in fulfilling the strict operational requirements demanded of FAA Part 129 certifi-cation. Our success in achieving this means that we can now offer our customers hassle-free travel arrangements, consistently high standards, privacy and discretion, not only for flights within the Middle East, to Asia and Europe, but also to the US.”
