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.

Company
About Ventura Air Services
Ventura Air Services was founded in 1955 as a boutique charter operation on Long Island and is headquartered at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, New York, with a second office in Nashville, Tennessee. It manages its own fleet, which it says gives it direct control of every flight, and its leadership is closely involved in daily operations.
Ventura flies on-demand charter with concierge service around the clock, sells a jet card and empty legs, and flies emergency charters, including organ and medical transport. Its fleet includes midsize Citation Excel, XLS and XLS+ jets and Challenger 604, 605 and 650 large jets, and it often flies between New York and Florida and on to the Bahamas, with Bimini and Freeport among its destinations. For owners it offers management, maintenance and avionics, aircraft sales and a Charter Lease Programme in which owners make their aircraft available for charter use.
Ventura holds an ARGUS Platinum rating and Wyvern Registered Operator status and runs a safety management system.
