Part 135 (On-Demand Operations)

Part 135 refers to a section of the Federal Aviation Regulations in the United States that governs on-demand air carrier operations. This means companies that provide charter flights, air taxis, and other non-scheduled air services. Unlike scheduled airlines, these operators fly when customers request flights. Part 135 includes safety standards, pilot qualifications, maintenance requirements, and operational procedures to ensure passenger safety and aircraft reliability. Essentially, it sets the rules that allow these flexible air services to operate safely and efficiently.
