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 VAL
Vieques Air Link calls itself the islands' hometown airline and has flown around eastern Puerto Rico since 1965. It operates as a public charter under US Department of Transportation rules, with its own air carrier certificate and commuter authorisation.
Its daily island hops link San Juan's Isla Grande airport and Ceiba on the main island with Vieques and Culebra, and with St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands; most flights take under 25 minutes, far quicker than the ferries. The fleet of Britten-Norman Islanders and Piper Cherokee Six aircraft is suited to the islands' short airstrips. Passengers can book and check in through its app and earn points in a free frequent flyer programme.
For visitors, VAL is the quick way to Vieques's bioluminescent bay and wild horses and to Culebra's Flamenco Beach.
