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 TransNorthern Aviation
TransNorthern is an Anchorage, Alaska cargo and passenger carrier with its own secure ramp and hangar at Anchorage International Airport. It is known for flying classic aircraft, including the Douglas DC-3 and the Beech 18, alongside Fairchild Metro turboprops.
Its cargo flights carry loads of up to 7,500 pounds, and it specialises in bulky freight that fits through a five by seven foot cargo door, the kind of equipment, building supplies and machinery that rural Alaska depends on. Shippers can stage and weigh cargo on its ramp or drop it off for handling. It also flies passenger charters, departing from the Anchorage terminal.
For mines, construction projects and villages off the road system, TransNorthern's large cargo doors and rugged aircraft make it a practical way to move heavy loads.
