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 Safari Helicopters
Safari Aviation is a family owned helicopter tour business founded in 1987, with offices in Lihue on Kauai and at Hilo Airport on the Big Island. Its Airbus AS350 helicopters fly waterfall and volcano tours over both islands.
On Kauai it flies an island waterfall tour of about 45 minutes, a deluxe waterfall safari and a Jurassic canyon landing tour of about 90 minutes with a landing on the rim of Olokele Canyon. On the Big Island it flies a volcanic safari over Kilauea and a tour of the Hamakua Coast waterfalls and valleys, with lava views depending on current volcanic activity.
Safari has been featured in USA Today and on Tripadvisor and Yelp. For visitors to Kauai or Hilo, a helicopter is the best way to see waterfalls and valleys hidden from the road.
