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.

Company

About Pacific Coast Jet

PCJ Aviation trades as Pacific Coast Jet, a San Francisco Bay Area charter, aircraft management and sales company with locations at Hayward and Oakland airports. It was founded in 2006 with the aim of making private travel practical for executives and other travellers, and it has grown into a fleet of about 23 aircraft.

The fleet spans turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 and light, midsize and heavy jets including the Citation X, one of the fastest business jets flying. Charter clients can sign up to its Jet Insider programme for text alerts about empty leg flights, and owners can place aircraft under its management or buy and sell through its sales team.

Pacific Coast Jet shows IS-BAO registration, an ARGUS Gold rating and Wyvern verification, and is a member of NATA and NBAA. Hayward and Oakland are often quicker and less congested than San Francisco International for private departures.

Booking

How booking works with Altivo Jets

1

Route, dates, passengers and bags, plus any aircraft type you prefer.
2
We check availability
We ask licensed operators that can fly the trip, and compare aircraft, timing and price.
3

Your quote names the operator and the aircraft before you confirm. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
