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 Central Air Southwest
Central Air Southwest is a privately owned, family run air cargo company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. It flies urgent freight around the clock across the continental United States, with more than 20 departures a day.
Its fleet is built around 22 Twin Commander 500B piston twins with standardised cockpits, de-icing for flight into known icing and payloads from a few pounds up to about 1,200 pounds, plus a Learjet 35A for jobs that need jet speed. Its bases are at Overland Park, Excelsior Springs and St. Louis in Missouri, Cushing in Oklahoma, Jackson in Michigan and Bessemer in Alabama.
Services include ad hoc and dedicated cargo charters, hazardous materials flights, organ transport, door-to-door delivery and just-in-time parts inventory for manufacturers. It also maintains Twin Commanders at its Kansas City facility. Its aircraft carry freight rather than passengers, so this profile is listed for reference.
