What Are The Differences
Between Part 91 And Part 135?

Part 91 (non-commercial) and Part 135 (commercial) are sections within the Federal Aviation Regulations (also known as FAR) that provide flight and operational rules for private air travel with or without paying passengers. This guide will help you better understand Part 91 and Part 135 and how each of those may impact you when it comes to private air charter travel. At Privé Jets all our flights operate under Part 135 because our top priority is always our clients’ safety. In the US, you are 12 times less likely to have an accident or incident if you charter a part 135 aircraft. This is due to the extra safety measures required under Part 135 regulations.
