Overview

Certification first, then the support that keeps you flying

Part 135 air carrier services at Skyports cover the whole life of a commuter or on-demand certificate. We guide new applicants through all five phases of FAA certification, and we support existing operators through growth, reorganization and difficult moments.

Every consultant on our team is a former FAA professional. We know what an inspector expects to see in your manuals and in your hangar, and we write programs that a small or mid-size operator can actually sustain.

Operators who fly internationally face added requirements for crews, aircraft and procedures. We plan for those early and connect them to authorizations such as 135 ETOPS when your routes call for it.

Scope of support

Part 135 support from application to daily operations

Five-phase certification

Pre-application, formal application, design assessment, performance assessment and administrative functions, managed as one coordinated project.

Qualified contract Directors of Operations and Directors of Maintenance to fill required management roles while you build your team.

Crisis and reorganization support

Help when findings, enforcement concerns, ownership changes or key personnel departures put your certificate under pressure.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your aircraft and crew structure. Single pilot and single PIC operators use a streamlined manual.

Long overwater routes in turbine airplanes may require ETOPS authorization. We identify those items before you apply for the authorizations.
