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.

From the Peninsula, it can reach Lake Tahoe, Mammoth, Sun Valley, Los Angeles and Las Vegas in a single hop.
Training is the core of the business. The company runs structured programmes from private pilot through to jet preparation, Cirrus standardised training and mentor pilot services. Its fleet includes Cirrus SR20 and SR22T G7 aircraft, which carry Garmin's emergency autoland system, along with SR22 G6 aircraft and Cessnas for rental.
The company was named Cirrus North American Training Center of the Year for 2019. It also offers aircraft management, ownership support, deliveries, pilot services and leaseback, and it has added hangar parking and training stations at Palo Alto in recent years.
