Plateau

Source charter from the aircraft already on the Plateau.

Plateau connects verified charter brokers with verified FAA Part 135 operators based within 150 nautical miles of Bentonville. Operators post live availability. Brokers post trips, receive quotes, compare them and book, with the operating carrier named before anyone commits.

Plateau arranges flights as an air charter broker under 14 CFR Part 295 and is not a direct air carrier. Each flight is operated by the Part 135 certificate holder named on your quote.
