FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate (E0YA).
Legal name: Elite Air, Inc.
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.
Elite Air is an aircraft management and charter company founded in 2001 and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Tampa Bay. It was founded by a pilot who had been flying executive jets since 1994, and it manages private aircraft based in cities across the United States and Europe for owners on three continents.
Management is the core of the business: Elite Air provides crews, maintenance, fuel, accounting and insurance for owners, and advises on buying aircraft and structuring contracts. The managed fleet spans turboprops and light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets, and is available for single charter trips, multi-leg tours and corporate shuttles. The company also runs the Elite Air Jet Center.
Elite Air holds an ARGUS Platinum rating and is a member of NBAA, and it has a representative available around the clock.
Route, dates, passengers and bags, plus any aircraft type you prefer.
We ask licensed operators that can fly the trip, and compare aircraft, timing and price.
Your quote names the operator and the aircraft before you confirm. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
The operator you choose flies the trip with its own crew and keeps operational control. Altivo Jets stays your contact before, during and after the flight.
Altivo Jets is an independent air charter broker. It does not own or operate aircraft and has no agreement with Elite Air. Every flight is operated by a properly licensed air carrier, which keeps operational control of the aircraft and is named on your quote.
Still deciding? A charter specialist will talk you through aircraft, airports and price, with no obligation.
