  • 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 STA Jets

Superior Transportation Associates trades as STA Jets, a private jet company based in Orange County, California. It flies on-demand charter for business, leisure and group travel, as well as last-minute and cargo flights, within the United States and abroad, and arranges ground transport and hotels around the flight when asked.

The company also manages aircraft for owners under its Total Jet Management programme, which covers crewing, maintenance and records and makes the aircraft available to charter clients, and it helps with aircraft sales and acquisitions. Its published fleet leans heavily towards large cabin Gulfstreams, including the G550, GIV-SP, G450, G600 and GV, alongside a Bombardier Global 6000, a Challenger 604, an Embraer Legacy 600, a Hawker 800XP and Citation XLS jets, with cabins for 8 to 18 passengers. Several aircraft have Starlink or other in-flight internet.

STA Jets shows Wyvern, ARGUS Platinum and IS-BAO safety credentials. It says it often flies high-profile clients and works alongside private security teams, and its large cabin jets suit long domestic and international trips.
