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 Marathon Helicopters
Marathon Helicopters is a helicopter tour company based at Seward Airport in Seward, Alaska, at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula. It has operated in Seward since 2016, flies Robinson R44 helicopters, and operates under FAA Part 135. The company takes its name from Mount Marathon, which rises above the town and hosts one of the oldest mountain races in the United States each Fourth of July.
Its scenic flights cover glaciers, icebergs, mountains and Alaska wildlife. Seward is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park and the Harding Icefield, which feeds dozens of glaciers, and the company offers glacier landings so passengers can step out onto the ice.
The company also designs custom adventures and flies passengers to remote areas, cabins, fishing spots and kayaking trips that are hard to reach by road or boat. It offers wedding and event flights and aerial photography, and it says lodging and fishing options are available through its other activities.
The company says it has been featured on television and has received a certificate of excellence from reviewers. Its founder has been flying in Alaska since 2012.
