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 Florida Air Cargo
Florida Air Cargo was founded in 2003 and flies from Opa-locka Airport in Miami. It carries air freight across the southern United States, the Bahamas, including Abaco and Nassau, the Caribbean and Belize, handling shipping documents, customs clearance and transfers.
Its fleet is a piece of aviation history: three Douglas DC-3s built as C-47 military transports in 1943 and 1945, some of which served with US Army Air Forces units in England during the Second World War, alongside two Cessna 208 Caravan turboprops. The company says it is the largest US commercial operator of the cargo DC-3, and it ferried its second Caravan from Nairobi to Miami in about six days.
Florida Air Cargo flies freight rather than passengers, so this profile is listed for reference.
