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.

About Mccarthy Air
McCarthy Air has flown backcountry air taxi trips in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park since 1975, from McCarthy at the end of the McCarthy Road. In winter, from November to April, it moves to Greeley, Colorado and flies private passenger and cargo charters across the Front Range, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska and Utah.
Its Piper Super Cubs and Cessna 206 fly flightseeing over glaciers and peaks, charters, and drop-offs for rafting, backpacking and mountaineering trips, landing on gravel bars and glacier strips in the largest national park in the United States.
For adventurers heading into Wrangell-St. Elias, McCarthy Air's decades of local flying make it a trusted way into the park.
