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 Ultima Thule Air
Ultima Thule Air is the flying arm of Ultima Thule Lodge, a fly-in wilderness lodge on the banks of a glacier river in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias Mountains, about 100 miles from the nearest paved road, inside the largest national park in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Flying has been part of the family behind the lodge for three generations.
Its Piper Super Cubs, de Havilland Otter and Cessna 185 bush planes fly guests over some of the continent's largest glaciers, land on remote strips for hikes and exploration, and serve McCarthy and Kennecott. Guests usually reach the area on a shared charter from Anchorage, and the lodge hosts retreats, weddings and elopements from May to September.
With no roads or maintained trails nearby, the bush plane is how guests explore.
