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 Emerald Air Service
Emerald Air Service has flown Alaska's wilderness since 1991 from Homer and calls itself Homer's longest standing bear viewing company. Its float equipped de Havilland Turbine Otters and Beavers carry up to nine guests over more than 100 miles of wilderness to Katmai National Park, home to more than 2,200 brown bears.
On its guided expeditions a naturalist leads guests through Katmai's coastal meadows among feeding bears, while its self guided Brooks Falls trips give about five hours on the viewing platforms. It also flies flightseeing and air charters, and every passenger wears a headset for live narration from the bush pilots.
For visitors to Homer, Emerald's trips are a direct route to some of the world's best bear viewing.
