Frequently asked

How many private jet operators are based in California?
SkyAccess indexes 47 FAA Part 135 charter operators currently based in California. Operator counts move as new Part 135 certificates are issued and as existing operators relocate their primary base.
Are all California private jet operators FAA Part 135 certified?
Yes. Every California-based operator listed on SkyAccess holds an active FAA Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate — SkyAccess lists only certificated air carriers, and in the US that certificate is Part 135. California-based operators on SkyAccess have the same federal certification, crew currency, maintenance, and operational-control requirements as any other US charter operator.
Where can I find empty leg flights from California-based operators?
Each operator's profile shows their upcoming empty legs, or you can search live inventory across all California operators on the empty-leg search page. Operators based in California typically have the densest empty-leg supply on routes departing from California airports.
How do I verify an California-based operator's safety record?
Each California-based operator's SkyAccess profile shows their FAA Part 135 certificate number, third-party safety credentials (ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO), NTSB record (joined on the operator's current N-numbers), and FAA registration validity for each aircraft on the certificate.
