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 Nicholas Air
Nicholas Services trades as Nicholas Air, a private aviation company founded in 1997 in Oxford, Mississippi. It is privately owned and still led by its founder, and it describes itself as the largest independently owned and operated private air travel provider, with a stated aim of being the best rather than the biggest. It reports more than 1,200 members across the United States.
Nicholas Air works as a membership club rather than a classic charter operator. Members buy jet cards from 15 to 100 hours, fractional shares of 100 to 300 hours a year, leases of 100 to 200 hours, or full aircraft management. All of them fly on a fleet the company owns and operates outright: Embraer Phenom 100 and Phenom 300E light jets, Citation CJ3+ jets, Citation Latitude midsize jets, Challenger 350 super-midsize jets and Gulfstream G600 large cabin jets. It says its fleet is the youngest in the industry.
The company says it has had no accidents since its founding. Its pilots hold FAA Airline Transport Pilot certificates, it runs a safety management system, and its aircraft are serviced at manufacturer-authorised service centres.
