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 Mercy Flights
Mercy Flights was founded as a nonprofit in 1949 in Medford, Oregon and describes itself as the first civil air ambulance in the United States. It began after a friend of the founder died of polio during a long, slow road journey from southern Oregon to Portland.
Today it provides emergency air and critical care ground transport across southern Oregon and northern California, owning and operating its aircraft under its own FAA Part 135 certificate, and was among the first mobile integrated healthcare providers in Oregon, bringing care to patients at home. It reports about 32,000 transports a year and 85,000 members in its membership programme.
Mercy Flights is an emergency medical service rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
