  • 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 Seattle Seaplanes

Seattle Seaplanes has flown from Lake Union in the heart of Seattle for more than 30 years, open year round. Its Cessna 172 and 206 floatplanes take off and land right beside the city.

Its 20 minute scenic flight covers more than 30 miles over the Ballard Locks, the University of Washington, the Space Needle, downtown and lakeside estates. It also flies dinner flights to nearby islands and private charters to Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, the San Juan Islands and Victoria, and it is one of the few places in the United States to train for a private pilot licence in a seaplane.

For Seattle visitors, a short floatplane flight from Lake Union is one of the city's classic experiences.
