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 Fly The Whale
Lima NY trades as Fly The Whale, a seaplane and small aircraft airline founded on the belief that travel should be as enjoyable as the destination. Its maintenance shop is at Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut, and it flies Cessna Caravans on wheels and amphibious floats.
In the Northeast it flies to the New York area, the Hamptons, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Boston, Fishers Island and, seasonally, Block Island, landing on water or at airports. In the Caribbean it runs year round flights between St. Croix and St. Thomas and to San Juan's Isla Grande airport. It sells scheduled seats, passes and group travel, private seaplane charters and cargo, and manages, maintains and sells aircraft.
For summer trips to the islands of New England, a seaplane avoids the ferries and can land close to the waterfront.
