  • 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 Rainbow Air Helicopter Tours

Rainbow Air is a helicopter tour company at its Tourism Center in Niagara Falls, New York, part of the Helicopter Transport Services group. It is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving and Christmas, weather permitting.

Its new, quiet Airbus H130 helicopters fly over the Horseshoe and American Falls, the Niagara River gorge and the city, crossing into Canadian airspace with no passport needed, with night flights, special occasion flights and charters. The Tourism Center has a heritage gallery, a video theatre, a helicopter to climb into, flight tracking and a virtual reality parasailing ride, with souvenir photos and a free shuttle.

For Niagara Falls visitors, a helicopter is the only way to see both falls and the gorge at once.
