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 Coastal Air
Coastal Air is an aviation company at Groton-New London Airport on the Connecticut shoreline, a towered airport with less congestion than larger fields. It offers flight training from introductory lessons, where students take the controls on day one, to private pilot and instrument ratings, year round with FAA certificated instructors.
Its training fleet includes Piper Cherokee 140 and 180 aircraft, and its certificate also lists a Piper Cherokee Six and a Cessna Caravan. Cross country training takes students along the shoreline to nearby island airports such as Block Island and Martha's Vineyard.
For travellers in southeastern Connecticut, Groton is close to Mystic, New London and the casinos.
