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.
