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 Zip Aviation
Zip Aviation is a New York City helicopter operator based at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport on the East River. It is an FAA certificated direct air carrier that owns, operates and maintains its own helicopters, and can usually have one ready within about an hour across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
It flies helicopter tours of Manhattan's skyline and harbour, narrated in nine languages, airport transfers to JFK, Newark and the other New York airports, and private charters across the Northeast, most often to the Hamptons, Atlantic City, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC. It also flies aerial photography.
For travellers heading from Manhattan to the Hamptons or an airport, a helicopter from the downtown heliport cuts hours of traffic to minutes.
