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 Crystal Aero Group
Crystal Aero Group was founded in 1978 and has held the FBO lease at Crystal River Airport, Captain Tom Davis Field, on Florida's Nature Coast since 1983. It runs a Part 141 flight academy that has trained pilots from more than 60 countries, with on-site student cottages.
Its Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft teach private, commercial, instrument, instructor, tailwheel and aerobatic training, and its high wing Cessnas fly 30 minute scenic flights over Crystal River, Fort Island Beach and the Homosassa River, where passengers often spot manatees. It also maintains aircraft and sells fuel, and funds a flight training scholarship for local high school seniors.
For visitors to Crystal River, famous for swimming with manatees, an air tour shows the springs from above.
