Haute Aviation Receives FAA Part 129 Approval for Falcon 6X and Falcon 2000LXS

Haute Aviation, a Swiss business charter operator based in Saanen/Gstaad and identified by the code HUE, has received Part 129 Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration. The approval covers two aircraft types in its fleet: the Falcon 6X and the Falcon 2000LXS.

The operator announced the approval on social media. Part 129 OpSpecs are a regulatory requirement for commercial charter operations to and from the United States, so the authorisation covers the flights that Haute Aviation can now operate on those routes with the two named types.

The approval follows the operator's recent fleet expansion. Chief executive Alexander Tamagni discussed that expansion in an October 2026 interview with ch-aviation.

Part 129 is the gate that foreign air carriers pass through before the FAA lets them fly commercial charters into and out of the United States. For a European operator, the approval is typically tied to the specific aircraft types listed in its OpSpecs, which means a fleet addition does not automatically carry US eligibility with it. Each new type has to be brought under the authorisation.

That makes the sequence here instructive: fleet growth came first, and the regulatory permission covering the Falcon 6X and Falcon 2000LXS followed. For charter buyers planning transatlantic trips, the practical test is to check that the operator, the specific aircraft type and the US authorisation line up for the flight in question, since an operator may be approved for some of its types and not others.

The next concrete milestone to look for is whether Haute Aviation begins marketing or operating US-bound flights on the two approved types.
