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.

Company
About Kestrel Aviation
Kestrel Aviation is an on demand charter company based at Norwood Memorial Airport, southwest of Boston, Massachusetts. It has been in the charter business since 1997 and describes itself as a premier airplane charter service in New England. It owns and operates a twin engine Piper Navajo Chieftain, a cabin class piston aircraft that seats up to around eight passengers.
The company says it completed an ADS B Out and In upgrade on the Chieftain about five years ahead of the FAA's January 2020 deadline. It says the equipment gives pilots better weather and traffic awareness and can allow more efficient, direct routes.
Its typical destinations include Boston Logan, Hanscom Field, Lawrence, Worcester and Norwood in Massachusetts, the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Providence in Rhode Island and Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach on Long Island, close to the Hamptons. The Chieftain can also fly longer trips across the Northeast.
For travellers south of Boston, Norwood is a convenient and uncongested starting point, and a Chieftain can take a family or business group to the islands in well under an hour, avoiding the ferry and the traffic over the Cape Cod Canal.
