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.
Company
About Exec 1 Aviation
Exec 1 Aviation is a private jet company headquartered in Ankeny, near Des Moines, Iowa, founded on the idea that there is a better way to fly privately. It holds an FAA Part 135 certificate and works with other licensed carriers when needed, with each carrier keeping operational control of its flights.
It sells on-demand charter tailored to each trip and the Exec 1 Jetcard, a 25-hour card with guaranteed availability on non-peak days, along with empty legs and FBO services. Its safety approach, the Five Point Safety Protocol, checks the aircraft, pilots, airports, conditions and passengers before each flight.
For travellers in central Iowa, Exec 1 offers private flights from home rather than connecting through a larger hub.
