An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.

About 5 State Helicopters
5 State Helicopters has operated since 1978 and is part of Aviation Resources Holdings, running a national network of FAA approved external load operators across the United States with no third party brokers. It holds FAA Part 133, 135, 137 and 145 certificates.
Its own fleet includes a BK117 and a UH-60A Black Hawk, with a Sikorsky S-61 able to lift 8,000 pounds stationed through a partnership and an S-64 Skycrane rated for 20,000 pounds announced. It handles helicopter lifts from quoting and permits to completion, an alternative to land cranes for rooftop units, towers and remote sites.
5 State's work is heavy lift rather than passenger charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
