Know the jet before you board.
Look up any US business jet by tail number: who operates it, whether it's on a Part 135 charter certificate, and what passengers said after the flight.
Covers 4,797 jets on Part 135 charter certificates with 1,757 operators, out of 29,212 jets in the US registry. FAA data from October 21, 2026.
What a charter certificate tells you
On-demand charter in the US is flown under FAA Part 135. Every aircraft that can legally carry paying passengers that way is listed on an operator's certificate, and the FAA publishes that list. If the tail you were quoted isn't on it, ask why before you pay.
The listing says who may charter the aircraft. It isn't a safety rating and says nothing about the cabin, the Wi-Fi or the crew. The FAA's list also has known gaps, so for anything that matters, confirm with the operator's operations specifications.
After the flight
Reviews on avirank come from passengers, after a specific flight on a specific aircraft, through a link their broker sends. Each one is tied to a real trip, so a tail's page builds up an honest record of what it's like to fly on.
