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 Kingfisher Aviation
Kingfisher Aviation is a family run floatplane company in Kodiak, Alaska, flying passengers into the wilderness since the 1990s with a focus on local knowledge and safe decision making. Its Found Bush Hawk floatplane carries small groups.
Its guided bear viewing trips run from late April to mid September on Kodiak Island or the Katmai coast, with about two hours of scenic flying and an hour and a half watching bears. It also flies scenic flights from April to November, Uganik River float trips and private charters for fishing, lodges, cabins, camping, research and special projects.
Kodiak's brown bears are among the largest in the world, and a floatplane is the way to reach the bays where they feed.
