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.

About New England Airlines
New England Airlines calls itself Block Island's resident airline, a certificated commuter airline that has flown daily scheduled service from Westerly, Rhode Island to Block Island since 1970. The flight takes about 12 minutes, compared with an hour or more on the ferry.
It flies year round, with around eight departures each way on weekdays in the off season and more in summer, plus a special Thanksgiving schedule and charter flights. Its fleet of Britten-Norman Islanders and Piper aircraft is built for short island runways. Westerly is on the Amtrak line between New York and Boston, so travellers can connect from the train.
For Block Island residents and visitors, New England Airlines is the quickest link to the mainland in every season.
