Sources: the FAA's list of Part 135 and 121 certificate holders and the aircraft on each certificate (as of October 9, 2026), and the Department of Transportation's certificated air carriers list (as of October 9, 2026). The base is where the company registers its own aircraft, or the address the DOT lists; marked * when it is only where most of the aircraft on the certificate are registered, which for a management company can be scattered. A callsign marked "heard" was worked out from what the receiver network heard the certificate's aircraft broadcast in the last 30 days, not from a list. Contact people named in the sources are not shown, the site's policy at this time.
