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 Flightline First
Flightline First is a family owned FBO with deep New Orleans roots that opened in 2007 at New Orleans Lakefront Airport, on Lake Pontchartrain a few minutes from the French Quarter. It aims to make Lakefront the gateway to New Orleans for business aviation, and says it is the only CAA preferred FBO in the area.
Its charter fleet includes Cessna Citation CJ1 and CJ3 light jets and a Beechcraft King Air 200 turboprop. The FBO is open around the clock, sits about 100 feet from the customs blue dot for international arrivals and arranges catering from local New Orleans caterers and rental cars.
For visitors to Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest or the Sugar Bowl, Lakefront is far closer to the city than Louis Armstrong International.
