Part 135 charter operators, and private jet safety

To help ensure you aren’t on an illegal charter, you can use this list to verify the operator and aircraft tail number.

Please read our article explaining Part 135.

See how buying an illegal charter can put your safety at risk and expose you to financial liability.

This list comes from the Federal Aviation Administration.

It includes aircraft operators and aircraft certificated under 14 CFR part 135 for commuter or on-demand charter operations.

The operator and each aircraft authorized to fly under part 135 are listed.

The FAA list of Part 135 Charter Operators is listed below by Certificate Holder Name, Certificate Designator, FAA District Officer, Aircraft Registration Number, Aircraft Serial Number, and Aircraft Model Type.

You can search by tail number or operator name.

This list is updated monthly.

That means a new operator or a change in aircraft may not yet be shown.

The list is from the FAA and may not be accurate.

Please note that the FAA temporarily removed the list while it verifies the data.
