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 Alpine Aviation
Alpine Aviation trades as Alpine Air, a Provo, Utah cargo airline and subsidiary of Alpine Air Express. It describes itself as one of America's largest all-cargo regional on-demand contract airlines, focused on fast growing secondary markets in the western United States, and it has expanded through the acquisition of Great Lakes Airlines.
Alpine flies contract cargo for shippers including UPS, the US Postal Service and Amazon. Its signature aircraft is its own FAA approved cargo conversion of the Beechcraft 1900D, which it says is the largest single pilot cargo aircraft in the world. The conversion took about four years and adds about 40% more capacity than the older 1900C, with a payload of more than 7,000 pounds and a range of about 1,280 nautical miles.
Alpine carries freight rather than passengers, so this profile is listed for reference.
