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 Centurion Flight Services
Centurion Flight Services says it has flown air charter since 1983, serving business and leisure travellers across California, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Oregon, including Palo Alto, South Lake Tahoe, Truckee and Reno.
Its fleet is built for mountain and regional flying: pressurised Pilatus PC-12, PC-12 NG and PC-12 NGX turboprops for seven or eight passengers, a pressurised Cessna 414A Chancellor for five or six, a Daher Kodiak 100 for eight and a Cessna T210 Centurion for five, the last two able to use short and unpaved strips. Beyond passenger trips it carries cargo and freight, including animals, and can arrange itineraries, ground transport and catering.
Centurion says its crews are airline transport pilots averaging more than 7,500 flight hours. Flying into the airport closest to a Sierra cabin or ranch saves a long drive from a major hub.
