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 Orange County Sunbird Aviation
Orange County Sunbird Aviation is a private jet charter company based at the ACI Jet FBO at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Orange County, California. It flies a Gulfstream G550, an ultra long range large cabin jet that can fly nonstop from California to Europe or Asia.
The company describes its service as best in class private jet charter for leisure and corporate travel. It flies to airports across the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America.
It says the G550's cabin is spacious, with advanced sound suppression and a focus on comfort. The aircraft typically seats up to around 14 to 16 passengers and has a forward galley, a crew rest area and separate seating zones that can be set up for dining, working and sleeping on long flights.
The company displays membership of the Air Charter Safety Foundation and a Wyvern verification badge. John Wayne is the closest airport for most of Orange County, and its FBOs give passengers a quick, private departure without the crowds of Los Angeles International.
