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 Silverhawk Aviation
Silverhawk Aviation is a Lincoln, Nebraska private aviation company that has flown since 1991. It calls itself the original locally focused charter, jet card, fractional ownership and aircraft management company in the Midwest, and says it is the region's largest light jet charter operator.
Its fleet is built around Cessna Citation jets and Beechcraft King Air turboprops, and it has facilities at Lincoln Airport, Omaha and Kansas City, with departures from Des Moines, Wichita and smaller Midwest communities. That network means many trips start close to home for travellers in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
