Every US charter operator. One request away.
TailDirect puts charter brokers in direct contact with all 1,700+ FAA Part 135 operators — including the majority you won't find on any marketplace. No middleman. Operators answer in minutes, not days.
The Part 135 fleet — live
Straight from our aircraft tracker. Every aircraft shown is a charter flight in the air over the US at this moment; aircraft on the FAA privacy list (LADD) are never shown.
How it works for brokers
Describe the trip
Route, dates, passengers. We match it against the live fleet — type, range, base, real availability signals.
Operators get it instantly
Matching operators receive your request by email and text — straight to the charter desk, no platform account required on their side.
Answers in minutes
Operators quote in one click. You see who answered, how fast, with real aircraft photos — not stock shots pretending to be the tail.
Quote without double-checking us
Your client sees what you send. Every field is built so you can forward it as-is — current, sourced, and correctable by the operator who owns it.
Never chase a dead certificate
- Every certificate and tail comes straight from the FAA and is refreshed weekly — you won't send a request to an operator who folded last month
- Charter contacts are checked against the operator's own site three ways, with a human on the disputes — the address you quote to actually reaches them
- Operators correct their own cards, and their word overrides ours — the base gets sharper the more they use it
Show your client the real aircraft
- 2,100+ aircraft with genuine exterior and cabin photos — not a manufacturer render standing in for the real tail
- Every photo carries its source, so an actual tail shot is never passed off as stock
- Operators add and curate their own photos through a single link
Where every field comes from
No black box. Here is the origin of everything you'd put in front of a client — and why you don't have to verify it yourself.
| Field | Source | Why you can trust it |
|---|---|---|
| Certificates & fleet | FAA Part 135 list + aircraft registry | REFRESHED WEEKLY |
| Charter contacts | The operator's own website | CHECKED 3 WAYS + HUMAN |
| Photos (13,000+) | Operators, registries, manufacturers | SOURCED PER PHOTO |
| Rates | The operators themselves | NEVER GUESSED |
