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 Albatross Air
Albatross Air is a family founded aviation company in Beckley, West Virginia, serving the community since 1985 with the tagline higher for hire. It flies charters and business trips across southern West Virginia and nearby states, scheduled around each customer.
Its Beechcraft King Air 100 twin turboprop avoids airline delays, cancellations and layovers on trips to Charlotte, Washington, Pittsburgh, Columbus and beyond. It also offers one-on-one flight instruction, aircraft sales and maintenance.
For travellers in the New River Gorge region, Beckley is far from major airline hubs, which makes a local charter especially useful.
