Frequently Asked Questions

10 questions about U.S. charter fleet intelligence

The Part 135 charter fleet consists of 11,325 aircraft authorized by the FAA to conduct on-demand charter operations. These aircraft are operated by 1,744 carriers across 54 states and territories.

All fleet data is sourced directly from the FAA Part 135 Aircraft Listing (D085) and the FAA Aircraft Registry. The D085 is the official record of every aircraft authorized under a Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate. Data is refreshed monthly.

Alaska leads with 1035 charter aircraft, followed by Florida (770) and Texas (766).

The BHT-407-407 leads with 558 active charter aircraft, followed by the CE-208-B (474) and the BD-100-1A10 (426).

The FAA publishes a fresh D085 Part 135 Aircraft Listing monthly. The Jet Finder refreshes all fleet intelligence — including state, model, and operator statistics — within days of each FAA release. Current data: 2026-09-24.

FAR Part 135 is the section of Federal Aviation Regulations that governs on-demand air taxi and charter operations. Any operator conducting charter flights for hire must hold a Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate and list each aircraft on their D085 operations specification.

Every aircraft in this dashboard holds an active Part 135 certificate, meaning it is legally authorized for charter. Availability depends on scheduling, maintenance status, and operator terms. Contact The Jet Finder for real-time availability on any model or route.

NetJets Aviation, Inc. operates the largest Part 135 fleet with 747 aircraft, followed by Air Methods LLC (375) and Flexjet, LLC (328).

Use the "Compare States" tab on this dashboard. Select any two states from the dropdowns to see a side-by-side comparison of fleet size, operator count, model diversity, top aircraft types, and leading operators.

Clicking any model in the "By Model" tab expands a detail panel showing which Part 135 operators fly that model and which states have the largest fleets. This helps brokers and operators identify sourcing opportunities.
