Who flies you
We advise.
Operators fly.
TrueSkies is an advisory, not an aircraft operator. Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 135 or 121 air carrier, or its foreign equivalent, that holds operational control of the aircraft. That independence lets your advisor choose the operator for each trip and hold every one to the same checks.
The ratings on this page belong to the operators, not to TrueSkies. We check them on every trip.

FAA Part 135 is the minimum. These checks run before any option reaches you.

Third-party standards
The standards
behind the checks
ARG/US
Operators must hold at least an ARG/US Gold rating or a Wyvern rating. Every assigned crew passes an ARG/US TripCHEQ before departure.
Wyvern
Wyvern Wingman certifies operators that pass an audit of safety procedures, pilot records and maintenance, backed by ongoing flight-by-flight checks.
IS-BAO
IS-BAO data is part of every operator review, alongside ARG/US and Wyvern.
Compliance team
An operator without a qualifying rating must pass due diligence by our compliance team, using data from our partner Goodwin.
