Our Commitment
Every Operator.
Independently Verified.
Flying to Casa de Campo, La Romana, or anywhere in the Caribbean, your safety is non-negotiable. Every operator, aircraft, and pilot is independently vetted before a single passenger boards.

Read NBAA Guideline →Part 135 Only
We exclusively charter through Part 135 certificated operators — legally authorized to conduct flights for compensation under FAA regulations.
AOC Required
Every operator holds a current Air Operator Certificate. No certificate, no charter. No exceptions — regardless of availability or price.
Zero Trust Framework
No operator is trusted by default. Every flight re-validated. Every pilot re-screened. Every certificate re-confirmed.
Global Oversight
Aviation Authorities
& Safety Agencies.
For flights to the Dominican Republic, La Romana (MDLR), and across the wider Caribbean, we cross-check every operator against IDAC and the relevant international civil aviation authority — the same standard we apply everywhere we fly. See how this plays out on the ground on our Casa de Campo arrivals page.
