FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate (K95A).
Legal name: Scott Aviation, LLC
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.
Scott Aviation trades as Silver Air, a private jet company founded in 2008 with its corporate office in Santa Barbara, California. It flies charter as an FAA Part 135 operator through a global network available around the clock, and manages a fleet that runs from light jets to long range heavy jets.
For owners, Silver Air runs a management programme called PURE Jet Management, which covers the running of the aircraft and optional charter use; its blog explains topics such as Part 135 versus Part 91 operation for owners. Travellers can book whole aircraft or one-way flights, and Silver Air also links to a separate membership programme, Flight Club.
The company shows Wyvern credentials and has been covered by The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The New York Times, Business Insider, Robb Report and The Washington Post. Santa Barbara's airport makes it a convenient alternative to Los Angeles for Central Coast travellers.
Route, dates, passengers and bags, plus any aircraft type you prefer.
We ask licensed operators that can fly the trip, and compare aircraft, timing and price.
Your quote names the operator and the aircraft before you confirm. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
The operator you choose flies the trip with its own crew and keeps operational control. Altivo Jets stays your contact before, during and after the flight.
Altivo Jets is an independent air charter broker. It does not own or operate aircraft and has no agreement with Silver Air. Every flight is operated by a properly licensed air carrier, which keeps operational control of the aircraft and is named on your quote.
Still deciding? A charter specialist will talk you through aircraft, airports and price, with no obligation.
