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 Copper Valley Air Service
Copper Valley Air Service is an Alaska air taxi based at Gulkana Airport near Glennallen, in the Copper River Basin. It flies float, wheel and ski planes into Wrangell-St. Elias, the largest national park in the United States, and to McCarthy and Kennecott.
Its flights include flightseeing over the park's highest peaks, glaciers and mud volcanoes, custom charters, backcountry drop-offs and pickups for backpackers, anglers and climbers, fly-in fishing and hunter transport. It also flies a scheduled mail plane twice a week linking Anchorage, Gulkana, May Creek and McCarthy, which takes passengers too. Passengers often see Dall sheep, caribou and moose.
For visitors to Wrangell-St. Elias, where few roads reach the interior, a bush plane from Gulkana or McCarthy is the practical way in.
