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 Wright Air Service
Wright Air Service is a Fairbanks, Alaska airline founded in 1966. It started with a Cessna 180 and a Piper PA-14, flying floatplanes in summer and skiplanes in winter to the communities of Interior Alaska, and grew from bush flying into a regional carrier.
Today it flies a published daily schedule to more than 40 Interior and northern Alaska villages and carries more than 40,000 passengers a year, mainly in Cessna Grand Caravans. For many of these communities, with no road link to the rest of the state, scheduled flights carry passengers, mail and freight, and Wright Air offers freight and excess baggage service alongside seats.
The company also flies charters to most places in Alaska, including the national parks. That makes it a practical choice for groups heading to remote lodges, research sites or wilderness trips where a light turboprop on a short gravel strip is the only realistic way in.
