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 First Av Group
First Av Group is an East Texas charter company based in Tyler, holding an FAA air carrier certificate and flying on-demand charter around the clock. Its fleet is built around Cessna Citation jets: the CJ1 and CJ4 light jets and the Citation Excel midsize jet.
The company pitches charter as a way to save time for groups of three or more, flying on the client's schedule to thousands of airports, including towns without airline service and quieter airports near busy hubs. It arranges catering and ground transport, offers a complimentary bar and snacks on every flight and carries baggage and special shipments.
From Tyler, its Citations reach Dallas, Houston, Austin and the rest of Texas in under an hour, and most of the eastern United States without a stop.
