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 Columbia Aviation
Columbia Aviation is a family owned fixed base operator at Columbia Metropolitan Airport in West Columbia, South Carolina, the main airport serving the state capital. It is a member of the Corporate Aircraft Association and has a Piper Seneca, a twin engine piston aircraft, listed on its FAA certificate for charter work.
As an FBO, the company looks after visiting aircraft and their crews. It lists lavatory service and ground power units, and it offers call out and after hours service for arrivals outside its normal opening hours. Its fuel appears to be supplied under the Avfuel brand. The FBO is open from early morning to late evening on weekdays, with slightly shorter hours at weekends.
The company's website includes a charter section, and the Seneca suits short regional trips for small groups across South Carolina and the neighbouring states, such as runs to Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte or Atlanta. For passengers flying private into Columbia, whether on their own aircraft or a charter from elsewhere, the FBO is one of the handling options on the field.
