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.

About Talkeetna Air Taxi
Talkeetna Air Taxi calls itself the glacier landing company and says it lands on more glaciers than any other company in the world. It flies from Talkeetna, the small town at the foot of the Alaska Range that serves as the gateway to the south side of Denali.
Its tours range from the Southside Explorer and Mountain Voyager to the Grand Denali and a Summit Tour that circles the peak, with glacier landings available on most, and a Winter Explorer from October to April. Its fleet of modified ski-equipped aircraft, including de Havilland Otters and Cessna 185s, also supports mountaineers attempting Denali and offers river access trips. Robinson R44 helicopters fly sightseeing, heli-hiking, remote access and sling loads, and in March it flies Iditarod tours to the Rainy Pass checkpoint.
Tours are adjusted to the weather, and guests can cancel if conditions are poor.
