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.
About Deckload Aviation
Deckload Aviation was founded in 2014 on Kodiak Island, Alaska, as a fish spotting business locating schools of fish for commercial boats. Its name comes from the term for a catch so large that fish must be stacked on deck. It says its pilots bring more than 20,000 flight hours and 25 years of island knowledge.
Its four aircraft cover helicopter, float and bush wheel flying: a Robinson R44 II and turbine Robinson R66, both with pop-out floats and sling load hooks, a Cessna 206 on floats and a Cessna 180 on tundra tyres. It flies charters for people and cargo, scenic tours with mountain top landings, bear viewing at Katmai and Frazer Lake, and commercial support with sling loads, high site refuelling, a landing craft and storage.
For visitors to Kodiak, Deckload reaches bays, ridges and bear country that have no roads.
