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 Bighorn Airways
Bighorn Airways is a Sheridan, Wyoming aviation company that has grown into a multi-faceted operator in the northern Rockies. Much of its flying is for government and emergency response: aerial firefighting, cargo transport and special missions in remote and rugged country.
On the ground at Sheridan it runs an FBO with fuelling and de-icing, an avionics shop and an FAA Part 145 maintenance facility, so its own aircraft and visiting ones are maintained in house. It also offers aircraft transport and ferry services.
Because most of its work is firefighting and contract flying, Bighorn is listed here mainly for reference, though its Sheridan base is close to the Bighorn Mountains and the ranch country of northern Wyoming.
