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 Talon Air Service
Talon Air Service was founded in 1991 in Soldotna on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula and is one of the longest continuously operating air charters there. Its Cessna Caravan, Turbine Otter and Turbine Beaver floatplanes fly frequent daily departures.
Its single day trips include fly-in fishing for sockeye and silver salmon, brown bear viewing at Big River Lakes and Crescent Lake, flightseeing over volcanoes, ice fields and glaciers in Lake Clark National Park, and big game hunts. Bear viewing and fishing trips include a licensed Alaskan guide, a boat and all gear.
For visitors on the Kenai, Talon reaches Lake Clark's bears and rivers without a drive back to Anchorage.
