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 Billings Flying Service
Billings Flying Service was founded in 1983 in Billings, Montana, and has more than 210 staff. It describes its fleet of Boeing CH-47D Chinook heavy lift helicopters as the largest civilian owned Chinook fleet in the world, and also flies an Airbus H125.
Its Chinooks fight wildfires for US and international agencies, carrying 2,500 gallons and refilling in under a minute, and can lift 26,000 pounds externally. It also provides Chinook maintenance, repair and overhaul with in-house engineering and round the clock support, and in 2025 won the first Type 1 exclusive use firefighting contract in Montana.
Billings Flying Service flies firefighting and heavy lift rather than passenger charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
