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.
About Safford Aviation Service
Safford Aviation Service is based at Coolidge Municipal Airport in Arizona, between Phoenix and Tucson. Its ownership was reshaped in 1993, starting with a couple of Beechcraft Barons, and it now provides aircraft for wildfire work from initial attack to large fires.
Its fleet includes six Beechcraft Barons with standardised avionics and King Air 90s for fire support, plus a Piper Seneca III and Cherokee Six. It also maintains aircraft, trains and standardises pilots and offers drone imagery, and uses its own software to track flight and duty times and maintenance.
Safford flies wildfire support rather than passenger charter, so this profile is listed for reference.
