KaiserAir granted FAA certification to operate large jets as commercial airline

The carrier is to provide full flight operations and management services for a Boeing 737-700 with all-premier passenger service in a 60-seat configuration. This private service will operate twice weekly between Oakland International Airport's North Field and Kona, Hawaii, starting this month.

Ronald J. Guerra, the company's president, said that KaiserAir is the first air carrier to successfully complete 121 Certification and ETOPS simultaneously and become one of a small group of air carriers certified to operate aircraft under FAR Parts 91, 121 and 135.

Privately owned KaiserAir has home base facilities at Oakland North Field and Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in California.
