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.

About Basin Aviation
Basin Aviation was founded in 1979 at Midland Airpark in Midland, Texas, in the heart of the Permian Basin. It runs an FBO, maintenance and an FAA Part 135 charter service for West Texas, including Midland, Odessa and San Angelo.
Its charter fleet of Beechcraft King Air turboprops and Learjet jets is described as the largest and newest in the region. Basin Aviation notes that charter can reach more than 5,000 US airports, compared with about 500 served by airlines, which matters for oil and gas crews and executives heading to remote fields and small towns.
Its FBO opens every day, so charter flights can depart early and return late.
