For more details please visit this page of the FAA. Part 135 Operators are also commonly referred as “Air Charter Operators”

These are independent companies offering auditing services for the business aviation and other industries.

JETVOLVE
Jetvolve LLC is an air charter broker acting as an “Agent of the Customer” and will always work in your best interest. We put our aviation expertise at work in making sure your flight is safe, the booking progress is simple and transparent, and that you enjoy the best customer experience in the industry!
We perform thorough due diligence for any flight we quote. After obtaining safety and historical performance information from operators, we compare it against the most stringent standards in the industry. We will not put our customers in a flight simply because the operators has an IS-BAO , Wyvern or ARGUS rating. Our philosophy is to establish relationships with a network of trusted operators that allows us to bring you unparalleled service.
The most important part of our cancellation policy is that the customer is responsible for any cancellation charges imposed by the operator. Upon a cancellation request we will move as quickly as possible to contact the operator and minimize cancellation charges, while respecting the operator’s cancellation policy.
Jetvolve LLC charges a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the booking fee (not the whole charter price!) if a trip is cancelled with a notice of 72 hours or more from the scheduled departure time or 100% of the booking fee for cancellation within 72 hours of departure. Jetvolve LLC’s cancellation fee is waived if you elect to keep remaining funds — after complying with any operator cancellation charges — with us for future flights.
