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 Better Living Aviation
Better Living Aviation is an FAA Part 135 charter company at Clow International Airport in Bolingbrook, Illinois, serving Chicagoland and the western suburbs for about 18 years. It flies business and personal trips around the clock, with free parking at the airport.
Its fleet includes a Cessna Citation Bravo and a Gulfstream G100 jet, Beechcraft King Air B200 and C90 turboprops and a Cessna 182, able to land at thousands of smaller airports closer to final destinations than O'Hare or Midway.
The company says customer safety is its number one priority. For the western suburbs, Clow avoids the traffic and terminals of Chicago's main airports.
