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 Bankair
Bankair was founded in 1972 in West Columbia, South Carolina, to fly cancelled cheques for local banks, which is where its name comes from. It grew quickly in cheque transport and added commuter passenger service in 1975, and now has more than 35 years in the airline business.
Today it flies passenger and cargo charter jets, Learjet 31A and Learjet 35A, fast light jets suited to trips along the East Coast and across the Southeast, and sells aircraft parts.
