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 Acadian Air Med
Air Med Services is the air medical arm launched in 1981 by Acadian Ambulance in Lafayette, Louisiana, because the state's swamps, bayous, marshes and rural roads make fast ground response difficult. It also reaches offshore emergencies in the Gulf of Mexico.
Its Beechcraft King Air 200 airplanes and helicopters, operated under Metro Aviation's Part 135 certificate, fly emergency patient transport, and it runs the ONE GULF emergency call centre around the clock, where paramedics trained as flight controllers coordinate medical response for the offshore oil and gas industry. It works with Louisiana's trauma network and displays CAMTS and CAAS accreditation.
Air Med is an emergency medical service rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
