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 Wrangell Mountain Air
Wrangell Mountain Air was founded in 1992 in McCarthy, Alaska, inside Wrangell-St. Elias, the largest national park in the United States at 13.2 million acres, much of it roadless. It flies six Cessna and de Havilland aircraft.
It runs up to three scheduled flights a day between McCarthy and Chitina, flightseeing over glaciers and peaks, fly-in day trips with guided glacier hikes or tours of the historic Kennecott copper mill, air taxi charters from towns across Alaska, and backcountry drop-offs for basecamping, backpacking and rafting. Passengers can join an optional carbon offset programme.
It has won a Travelers' Choice award five years in a row and was featured on CBS Saturday Morning. Flights run in the summer season.
