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.

About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Helicopter Consultants of Maui trades as Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, which has flown tours in Hawaii since 1985 and calls itself the state's air tour leader. Over four decades it has grown from Maui to five islands, with departures from Kahului on Maui, Waikoloa and Hilo on the Big Island, Honolulu and Turtle Bay on Oahu, Princeville and Lihue on Kauai, and Lanai Airport.
The main tour aircraft is the Airbus EC130 EcoStar, a quieter helicopter with a wide cabin and large windows, and Blue Hawaiian says it is one of only two Hawaii operators flying it. It also flies the Airbus AS350 A-Star with up to six guests. Tours cover volcanoes, sea cliffs, waterfalls and valleys that cannot be reached by road; on Kauai, more than 70% of the island has no land access. Some routes include a landing, such as the Lanai Maui Nui tour.
Alongside scheduled tours, Blue Hawaiian flies private charters and group bookings. Its pilots are State of Hawaii certified tour guides, and it won first place in the Hawaii Magazine Readers' Choice Awards for 2026.
