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 Maine Instrument Flight
Maine Instrument Flight was founded in 1946 and describes itself as one of the oldest continuously operating aviation organisations and civilian flight schools in the United States. It is headquartered at Augusta State Airport, where it runs the FBO, with flight training locations at Brunswick and Bangor.
Its air charter fleet includes a Pilatus PC-12 turboprop and Beechcraft Barons, aircraft with strong short runway performance for Maine's islands and small coastal and inland airports. It also flies scenic flights, maintains piston aircraft, offers FAA knowledge testing and trains pilots in partnership with the University of Maine at Augusta.
For visitors to Maine's coast, lakes and islands, a short flight from Augusta saves hours on the road.
