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 Cobalt Air
Cobalt Air, LLC is an on demand aircraft charter operator based at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is a sister company of PlaneSense, Inc., the manager of the PlaneSense PC-12 fractional ownership program, which was founded in 1996. The company holds an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate under designator 6CBA.
Cobalt flights provide Part 135 transportation for PlaneSense fractional share owners and fly demonstration flights for prospective share owners. The company states that it also offers limited on demand charter to other customers, subject to aircraft availability. Maintenance is carried out by sister company Atlas Aircraft Center, a Part 145 repair station co-located at Portsmouth, and the company states that PlaneSense pilots, all employed full time, act as agents of Cobalt Air when flying its charter flights.
Its FAA fleet consists of 50 Pilatus PC-12 single engine turboprops and 20 Pilatus PC-24 light jets. The company notes that the PC-12 cabin has six executive seats, a flat floor, a fully enclosed lavatory and a large cargo door, and that the aircraft can use runways as short as 2,000 feet. PlaneSense was a launch customer of the PC-24, which entered service in 2018. It holds an ARGUS Platinum Elite rating.
