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 Lyddon Aero Center
Lyddon Aero Center Inc is a family run charter, maintenance and fixed base operator at Liberal, Kansas. The family's aviation history began in 1965, when Bill Lyddon, Sr. founded Lyddon Flying Service in La Junta, Colorado, as a flight school. In 1975 the family bought the FBO in Lamar, Colorado, and in October 1990 Steve Lyddon and Bill Lyddon, Jr. bought the FBO in Liberal. The company holds an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate under designator LQYA.
The company states that it flies private charter for business and leisure anywhere in the continental United States, including to the many smaller airports that airlines do not serve, and that it is on call around the clock every day of the year. Alongside charter it runs a full service FBO with Jet A and 100LL fuel, hangar space for aircraft up to medium size jets, a pilot lounge and a flight planning room. Its technicians handle aircraft maintenance from routine servicing to complete overhauls, and its line service has earned the Phillips Performance Center Endorsement.
Its certificate fleet centres on six Cessna Conquest turboprops and five Beechjet 400A or Hawker 400XP light jets, with two Beechcraft Bonanzas and a Piper Seneca as piston aircraft. No third party safety audit is published for the company.
