  • 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.

Company

About Vista America

Jet Select is the US direct air carrier behind Vista America, part of the Vista group, which it calls the largest charter group in private aviation. Jet Select does not own aircraft: it operates leased aircraft under its own operational control, flying the Vista Members' fleet in the United States for VistaJet and XO clients, and manages aircraft for owners who want charter revenue.

Its operations centre stays in live contact with Wi-Fi equipped aircraft, and its maintenance division includes engineering, maintenance control and mobile response teams. It has its own flight simulator and activates a special events unit for busy periods in the New York area. The wider Vista group recently placed a major order for Bombardier Challenger 3500 jets.

Jet Select holds the industry's three main safety audit recognitions and received the FAA Diamond Award of Excellence in 2026. Its aircraft are booked through VistaJet and XO.

Booking

How booking works with Altivo Jets

  1. 1
    Send your trip

    Route, dates, passengers and bags, plus any aircraft type you prefer.

  2. 2
    We check availability

    We ask licensed operators that can fly the trip, and compare aircraft, timing and price.

  3. 3
    Choose your aircraft

    Your quote names the operator and the aircraft before you confirm. Nothing is booked until you approve it.

  4. 4
    Fly

    The operator you choose flies the trip with its own crew and keeps operational control. Altivo Jets stays your contact before, during and after the flight.

Altivo Jets is an independent air charter broker. It does not own or operate aircraft and has no agreement with Vista America. Every flight is operated by a properly licensed air carrier, which keeps operational control of the aircraft and is named on your quote.
