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 Grand Canyon Airlines
Grand Canyon Airlines was founded in 1927 and credits itself with flying the first commercial air tour. It describes itself as the oldest and largest aerial tour company in the world, and it flies every day of the year, weather permitting.
Its tours cover the Grand Canyon's South Rim and West Rim and the wider Southwest desert: Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge, Monument Valley and Tower Butte, with Las Vegas as a starting point. It runs terminals at Boulder City near Las Vegas, Grand Canyon National Park Airport, Grand Canyon West and Page, Arizona, and at Grand Canyon Airport it operates a private passenger terminal and museum, the airport's only FBO and a 10,000 square foot maintenance hangar. The fleet is built around de Havilland Twin Otter and Cessna Caravan aircraft with high wings and large windows for sightseeing.
The company says it pays close attention to its environmental impact on the landscapes it flies over. For visitors with limited time, a flight is the quickest way to see several of the Southwest's parks in one day.
