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 South Bay Helicopter Services
South Bay Helicopter Services describes itself as the San Francisco Bay Area's premier helicopter charter company, flying passengers for more than 20 years from Hayward in the East Bay.
Its AgustaWestland AW109 twin engine helicopter flies business charters, sightseeing tours over the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and the city, and location filming for film, television and advertising shoots.
For Bay Area executives, a helicopter turns trips to Silicon Valley, Napa or Monterey into short flights instead of long drives in traffic.
