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 Branch River Air Service
Branch River Air Service is a King Salmon, Alaska bush air service with more than 30 years of experience, based on the Naknek River in the Bristol Bay region. Its Cessna 206 floatplanes land on lakes and rivers across Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula.
It flies fly-out sport fishing, bear viewing, flightseeing, drop hunts and float trips into Katmai National Park and Preserve, Becharof and Togiak national wildlife refuges, Wood-Tikchik State Park, the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary and Aniakchak National Monument. Many of these places have no roads, so a floatplane is the only practical way in.
For anglers chasing Bristol Bay salmon or visitors hoping to watch brown bears in Katmai, King Salmon is the gateway.
