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 Icon Helicopters
ICON Helicopters is a San Diego area helicopter tour and charter operator at McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad. Its Airbus AS350 helicopters fly sightseeing tours, private charters, race support and aerial filming, and every tour can be customised.
Its Iconic Tour takes in the downtown San Diego skyline, Coronado Island and the Hotel del Coronado, SeaWorld and the USS Midway with a mountaintop landing, while the Splendor Tour flies the same route without landing. Other tours fly to Temecula wine country for tastings, over the ranches to the mountain town of Julian for pie, along the coast past the Del Mar racetrack, Torrey Pines and La Jolla Cove, and at sunset with champagne.
For San Diego visitors, a helicopter tour links the coast, the city and the backcountry in an hour.
