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.

Company
About Alaska West Air
Alaska West Air is a floatplane and bush flying company on the Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage, operating since 1978 from an office beside a lake and gravel runway. Its pilots specialise in reaching places off Alaska's road system.
Its nine aircraft include three de Havilland Turbine Otters for up to 10 passengers, Turbine and piston Beavers, Cessna 206 and 207s, a Bushhawk and Piper Super Cubs, so it can match the aircraft to group size and landing site. It flies bear viewing, fly-in fishing on remote rivers and lakes, hunting trips, flightseeing over glaciers and the fjords around Kenai Fjords National Park, and custom exploration charters across Southcentral Alaska.
For visitors staying on the Kenai, Alaska West Air offers wildlife and fishing trips that would otherwise take days to reach overland.
