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.

Company
About Dragonfly Aviation
Dragonfly Aviation is a helicopter company based in Laredo, Texas, on the Rio Grande in the brush country of South Texas. It flies a Robinson R44, a four seat piston helicopter widely used for low level work over ranch land.
Most of its flying supports the ranching and wildlife management that dominate the region. The company lists wildlife surveys, wildlife captures and cattle work among its services. Helicopter surveys are a common way for South Texas ranches to count deer and other game over large properties, and helicopters are also used to gather cattle across thick brush that is slow to work on horseback or by truck.
The company also offers group experiences, and it says it can tailor a service package to each customer's needs. It says its owner and chief pilot has more than 7,000 flight hours.
Dragonfly Aviation is mainly a utility and agricultural helicopter operator rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
