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 Maverick Helicopters
Maverick Airstar is the company behind Maverick Helicopters, one of the best known helicopter tour brands in the western United States. From its Las Vegas home it flies daily tours over the Las Vegas Strip and to the Grand Canyon, with departures from its own Las Vegas Strip terminal, Grand Canyon National Park Airport and Grand Canyon West. It also flies on Maui from Kahului Heliport and in Southern California, including Catalina Island and transfers from Long Beach and other Los Angeles and Orange County airports.
The company says it runs the world's largest fleet of Airbus H130 helicopters, a type chosen for tours because of its wide cabin and large windows, and the largest Sikorsky S-76 charter fleet on the West Coast. The S-76 is a twin-engine executive helicopter used for private charters and transfers.
Beyond scheduled tours, Maverick flies private charters, event transfers to festivals and motor races, group and incentive flights, wedding and proposal flights, and film and production work. It says it holds the top safety record of any tourism-based aviation company in the world.
