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. How we check operators.
Company
About Life Link III
Critical Care Services trades as Life Link III, a nonprofit air medical service owned by a consortium of nine healthcare organisations, each with an equal seat on its board. It was founded in 1985 and has flown patients for about 40 years across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Life Link III flies helicopters and airplanes day and night, every day of the year, from 11 bases: Hibbing, Duluth, Brainerd, Alexandria, Willmar, Anoka, Rush City and Detroit Lakes in Minnesota, and Rice Lake, Marshfield and Rhinelander in Wisconsin. Its own communication and operations centres dispatch aircraft, and a One Call system coordinates with other air medical services to send the most suitable aircraft. Hospitals and first responders can request a flight through its OneLink app.
The service is CAMTS accredited through 2028 and runs clinical education, landing zone and helipad safety training and a ride-along programme. Its aircraft fly medical missions rather than passenger charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
