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.
Company
About Western Aircraft
Western Aircraft is a Boise, Idaho aircraft services company founded in 1957 and now affiliated with Greenwich AeroGroup. It describes itself as one of the largest aircraft services providers in the western United States, and charter is one part of a much broader business.
Its Westair Charter arm flies on-demand charter and manages aircraft for owners. Around that, Western Aircraft runs the FBO at Boise, fuelling general aviation, government and airline aircraft, and a large maintenance operation covering inspections, engines, paint and non-destructive testing. It installs avionics, including Garmin, Gogo, Viasat and Starlink systems and Pro Line upgrades, builds aircraft interiors including air ambulance conversions, and sells aircraft and parts. It is a dealer or service centre for brands including Pilatus, Piper, Beechcraft and King Air, Embraer, Dassault Falcon and Gulfstream.
For charter clients, Boise is a gateway to Sun Valley, McCall and the Idaho backcountry, and Western Aircraft keeps its aircraft maintained in its own hangars.
