  • 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.

Company

About Bridger Aerospace

Bridger Aerospace is an aerial firefighting and special mission company based in Belgrade, Montana, near Bozeman. It started about a decade ago with a single aircraft and now works for federal, state, provincial and local agencies across the United States and Canada.

Its best known aircraft are Super Scooper amphibious water bombers, the CL-415EAF and CL-215T, which skim lakes to refill their tanks and drop water directly on fires during initial attack. Pilatus PC-12 and Daher Kodiak aircraft fly air attack, coordinating the aircraft over a fire, and mapping, detection and intelligence missions, feeding live data to firefighters through Bridger's own IGNIS software. It also runs in-house engineering and maintenance.

Bridger follows US Forest Service and Department of the Interior standards. Its work is firefighting rather than passenger charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
