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 Ventis Aviation
Ventis Aviation is a Chicago area Part 135 charter and aircraft management company that has served clients for more than 25 years. It flies its own Cessna Citation CJ3 from Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, Illinois, on the city's northern suburbs.
The company says it operates its own fleet and can also offer charter options across the full range of aircraft types, from twin piston aircraft and turboprops through very light, light and midsize jets to large cabin and ultra long range jets. That range lets it match the aircraft to anything from a short regional trip to an intercontinental flight.
The company says it has an incident free safety record, and its website displays its Air Carrier Certificate along with ARGUS, NBAA and NATA logos. It emphasises personal service and comfort, and says its aim is to consistently exceed client expectations. It also offers aviation management for aircraft owners.
The CJ3 is one of the most popular light jets in service, seating up to around seven passengers with the range for nonstop flights from Chicago to Florida, Texas, Colorado and the Northeast. Chicago Executive gives passengers on the North Shore quick access without the congestion at O'Hare or Midway.
