  • 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 Tru Aviation

Capital Jet trades as Tru Aviation, a family operated private aviation company in Cypress, northwest of Houston, Texas. It describes itself as a full service operator and broad charter provider rather than a single fleet.

Its charter options include private jets from light jets for short trips to long range aircraft such as the Gulfstream GIV for international travel, airliners for group travel, cargo jets, helicopters and air ambulance flights, with concierge help and one-way flights. For owners and would-be owners it offers fractional ownership, leasing, aircraft management and aircraft sales.

Tru Aviation shows Wyvern and ARGUS Gold credentials and says its aircraft follow strict maintenance and training programmes. Its Houston area base suits trips around Texas, to Mexico and across the Gulf.

Booking

How booking works with Altivo Jets

  1. 1
    Send your trip

    Route, dates, passengers and bags, plus any aircraft type you prefer.

  2. 2
    We check availability

    We ask licensed operators that can fly the trip, and compare aircraft, timing and price.

  3. 3
    Choose your aircraft

    Your quote names the operator and the aircraft before you confirm. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
