KaiserAir’s facility in Santa Rosa, Calif., received approval as a gateway for operations to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). The approval is the second for KaiserAir (Booth C10143). The company had obtained similar DCA gateway recognition for its Oakland, Calif., fixed-base operation nearly a year ago.
The authorization permits direct flights to DCA. KaiserAir has designated an area of its Santa Rosa facility as a sterile area where the required security protocols can be performed in privacy for DCA flights. KaiserAir also is making staff available to answer questions about the program and to help with the arrangements.
“We understand the unique challenges presented by DCA operations because we operator private jets for West Coast clients who often travel to our nation’s capital,” said Glenn Barrett, KaiserAir’s vice president of maintenance and Santa Rosa FBO general manager.
Separately, KaiserAir is launching an in-flight magazine KA Confidential for passengers who fly on its Part 121 and 135 flights. The premier issue will be released mid-December. KaiserAir is on track to fly 20,000 seat trips this year, the company said, and noted it is expanding its management business.
