What is FAA Part 135?

Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 135 governs the operation of commuter and on-demand air carriers in the United States. Operators certificated under Part 135 are authorized to conduct charter flights, air taxi services, and commuter operations.

As a charter broker, verifying that an operator holds a valid Part 135 certificate is a fundamental step in the due diligence process. This database allows you to confirm an operator's certification status and see which aircraft are authorized under their certificate.
