Private jet charter, nationwide.
Instant estimates from FAA Part 135 operators, every fee shown up front, and a quote desk that answers around the clock, coast to coast.
Aircraft and operator counts come from the FAA list of Part 135 air carriers and the FAA aircraft registry. Every operator on a quote holds a current FAA Part 135 certificate. See every operator.
One-way flights from the US, below the charter price.
When an aircraft has to fly empty to its next job, the operator sells that leg at a discount. The whole aircraft, the operator named, the price shown.
Operators post legs at short notice, often a day or two before the flight. We email you the moment one matches.

Who builds US charter aircraft.
The makers with the most aircraft on FAA Part 135 charter fleets. Each page lists their models, where they fly and the operators that fly them.
Simpler than the airport.
Chartering in the US means renting a whole aircraft from an FAA Part 135 carrier, flown on your schedule from a private terminal (FBO).
You pay for the aircraft, not the seat, so a full light jet often costs less per person than you expect. Prices depend on flight time, where the aircraft is based and Federal excise tax.
Arrive 30 minutes before departure. There is no queue for security, no gate and no boarding call; your crew meets you at the aircraft.
Altivo Jets is a broker: we compare operators, check their certificates and safety record, and put the operator's name on your quote. We act as your agent under DOT Part 295.
