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 Rick Aviation
Rick Aviation is the only full service fixed base operator at Newport News Williamsburg International Airport on the Virginia Peninsula. It was founded in 1978 by a former US Air Force serviceman in a small hangar at what was then Patrick Henry Field, and it started out working on small general aviation aircraft. It now employs more than 30 aviation professionals.
The company offers aircraft maintenance as an FAA Part 145 certified repair station, sells Jet A and 100LL fuel, and runs an FAA approved Part 141 flight school using Cessna 172 aircraft and a Redbird simulator. Its flight school accepts GI Bill benefits, runs programmes for international students and takes part in the Defense Department's credentialing programme.
It is also a PSI testing centre, which it says is the only facility on the Virginia Peninsula where the public can take aviation related exams.
The airport serves Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown and the wider Hampton Roads area, and Rick Aviation handles private and corporate aircraft arriving for business and for visits to Colonial Williamsburg. Rick Aviation is an FBO and flight school rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
