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 Bristow
Bristow is the US operating company of Bristow Group, a Houston based, publicly listed helicopter operator that describes itself as a leader in global vertical flight. The group flies about 234 aircraft for civil and government customers worldwide.
Its largest business is offshore energy transport, flying crews to oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and other basins. It also runs search and rescue for governments, government services and aircraft support, and is investing in advanced air mobility. The fleet is built around twin-engine helicopters certified for instrument flight: the Leonardo AW139, which seats up to 12, the super-medium AW189 and the heavy Sikorsky S-92.
Bristow's safety programme is called Target Zero. Its flying is offshore and government work rather than private charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
