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 Smith Air
Smith Air is a family run backcountry air service founded in 2023 at Cascade Airport in central Idaho. Its founding pilot flew for another backcountry operator for about 20 years and is also an aircraft mechanic.
Its Cessna TU206s carry five passengers or roughly 800 to 1,000 pounds to about 20 backcountry airstrips in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, the largest contiguous wilderness in the lower 48 states, and across central Idaho and eastern Oregon. It flies hikers, hunters, anglers and rafters, and runs supply flights of mail, groceries and building materials to private ranches along the Main Salmon, the South Fork, the Middle Fork and Big Creek.
The Salmon River canyon is deeper than the Grand Canyon, and a short flight from Cascade replaces days of travel. Smith Air has been featured on Dutch and German television.
