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.
Company
About Aero Air
Aero Air is a family owned aircraft services company at Portland Hillsboro Airport in Oregon, run by the same family across several generations. It calls itself the people centred aircraft services company and works through three divisions: Aero Air, Aero Med and Aero Tanker.
Aero Air runs the FBO at Hillsboro, a maintenance shop and charter flights for business and private travellers across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Aero Med flies patient transfers and organ transplant missions, where speed between hospitals matters. Aero Tanker operates converted McDonnell Douglas MD-87 airliners as air tankers that drop retardant on wildfires for fire agencies.
That mix gives Aero Air an unusually broad base for a regional operator: its own ramp and maintenance at Hillsboro, a jet charter operation close to Portland, and specialist firefighting work during the western fire season.

We ask licensed operators that can fly the trip, and compare aircraft, timing and price.
- 3Choose your aircraft
