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.
About Trauma Hawk
The Health Care District of Palm Beach County runs Trauma Hawk, the county's air ambulance programme, started in 1990 and based at Palm Beach International Airport. It is part of the county's coordinated trauma system, alongside its trauma centres and injury prevention work.
Trauma Hawk flies Leonardo AW169 twin engine helicopters with medical crews from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, carrying critically injured patients from accident scenes across the county, from the coast to the farm towns around Lake Okeechobee, to the county's trauma centres within minutes.
Trauma Hawk is a public emergency medical service rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
