Broker versus operator
An operator holds the FAA Part 135 certificate and operational control of the flight. A broker such as Altivo Jets acts as your agent: we compare operators, negotiate the price and manage the trip.
Your rights under Part 295
Brokers must disclose that they are brokers, name the operator and give the total price before you sign, and refund you within 20 days if a flight does not operate.
How we vet operators
Certificate checks, insurance, third-party safety audits (ARGUS, Wyvern) where held, and crew experience.
