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 HeliNY
Helicopter Flight Services trades as HeliNY, founded in 1994 and describing itself as the largest sightseeing helicopter operator in the New York metropolitan region. It flies from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport at Pier 6 on the East River and from Linden Airport in New Jersey.
Its fleet is built around Bell 407, 407GX and 407GXi helicopters, one of the largest Bell fleets in the area, with synthetic vision, terrain warning and traffic collision systems and noise reduction on the newer aircraft. Tours run from a short loop of Lower Manhattan to the full length of the island and on to Brooklyn and Staten Island, plus skyline tours from Linden, fall foliage flights and proposal flights. HeliNY also flies private charters, medical logistics and organ transport.
In late 2025 it earned TOPS safety certification and Wyvern Wingman status, and it says it carries about 78,000 passengers a year.
