Operators (Part 125 / 135)
Part 135 and Part 125 FAA certificate holders use aircraft for chartered flights; the difference between the two certificates is the size of the aircraft used.
Business aviation still relies on manual ID checks, paper manifests, and disconnected communication, creating delays and risk. AirTera’s DepartureCheck replaces these outdated processes with a secure, biometric, mobile-first solution that verifies passengers in seconds, reduces delays, strengthens security, and provides real-time visibility within the flight management system.
DepartureCheck is the first biometric passenger identity verification solution designed exclusively for Part 91 and Part 135 operators. Purpose-built for ramp environments and private charter workflows, it replaces manual ID checks with fast, touchless verification—no fixed hardware, no airport infrastructure.
Using advanced facial recognition, DepartureCheck verifies passengers in seconds, reduces boarding delays, and provides crews with real-time passenger status inside their flight management system. The result: stronger security, smoother departures, and more time focused on flight readiness.
