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 Wheels Up Private Jets
Wheels Up Private Jets is one of the FAA Part 135 operating certificates of Wheels Up, the membership based private aviation company founded in 2013. Wheels Up became known for making private flying accessible through memberships and prepaid programmes, and in 2023 Delta Air Lines became its largest investor, linking Wheels Up with Delta's network and loyalty programme.
Its operated fleet includes Beechcraft King Air 350i turboprops, Cessna Citation Excel and XLS jets, Embraer Phenom 300 light jets and Bombardier Challenger 300 super-midsize jets, and it adds partner aircraft for larger or longer trips. Members and on-demand clients book through the Wheels Up app, and corporate travellers can use programmes linked with Delta.
Because Wheels Up sells mainly to its own members and through its own platform, this certificate is listed here for reference.
