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 Freight Runners Express
Freight Runners Express is a cargo and passenger charter airline based at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport in Wisconsin. It flies scheduled and on-demand freight and passenger charters, booked anything from months ahead to a few hours before departure, and says it can reach more than 6,000 airports across North America.
Its fleet is built for both jobs. Freight flies in Embraer 120 and Beech 99 turboprops converted to freighters, while passenger charters use the Saab 2000, a fast 50-seat regional turboprop that suits sports teams, company groups and other large parties. In its most recent 12 months the company reports nearly 3.8 million flight miles, about 39,000 passenger segments and more than two million pounds of cargo.
Freight Runners also runs a pilot career path and apprenticeship programme. For groups, its Saab 2000 is one of the few charter options of that size flying out of the Upper Midwest.
