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 Kiwi Air
Kiwi Air is a helicopter tour company based at a helipad and hangar at the Port of Clarkston, Washington, in the Lewis Clark Valley across the Snake River from Lewiston, Idaho. It flies a Robinson R44 and says its tours are private, with a window seat guaranteed for every passenger. Its tagline is the best way to see Hells Canyon by air.
Hells Canyon is North America's deepest river gorge, carved by the Snake River along the Idaho and Oregon border. The company's Gateway Hells Canyon and Joseph Creek tour, about 45 minutes, is known for wildlife such as bighorn sheep and elk, and its hour long Imnaha River Canyon tour covers the history and scenery of a side canyon.
Shorter flights include a 15 minute local tour over the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers and the twin cities, a Waha Lake tour over basalt landforms and a 30 minute Grande Ronde tour. A Palouse tour flies over rolling farmland and the Washington State and University of Idaho campuses.
Longer trips go to Palouse Falls, a 198 foot waterfall at its best in spring and early summer, and to Dworshak Dam, one of the tallest dams in the United States, and the Dent Bridge suspension bridge. The company also flies charters, photography flights and custom routes.
