California-based Charter Operation Debuts

Dreamline Aviation has received Part 135 Certification from the FAA, authorizing it to conduct worldwide jet charter operations. The company, which is headquartered in Hermosa Beach, Calif., will operate aircraft from bases in Van Nuys, Santa Ana and the Bay Area. Dreamline now manages 10 airplanes, ranging from Gulfstreams and Challengers to King Air turboprops, all of which will be placed on the new operating certificate over the next few months.
