  • 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 Heli-1

Heli-1 is a helicopter company with bases at Missoula, Montana and Reno-Tahoe, Nevada, that has supported wildland fire protection since 2005 and describes its work as vertical lift worldwide.

Its crews fly fire suppression and support, hoist operations to insert and extract personnel, power line and utility work, and heavy lift aerial construction, in the United States and abroad. It runs a safety management system with daily reporting, audits and analysis.

Heli-1's flying is firefighting and utility work rather than passenger charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
