Part 135 is then typical business aviation, where as a customer you hire a provider to fly you wherever you want to go.
And part 91 is someone owning his own jet, which could include employing a pilot to fly it, but you do not sell flights to other, non-owner customers.
Did I get that correct?.
The division between 121 and 135 is the size of the aircraft. You could have scheduled service in a King Air under 135 or charter a 747 under 121. If you own a plane and do not operate it for hire that falls under part 91 up to 20 seats, then part 125 applies. And if you own a share of a pool of planes that are managed for you, that falls under 91k.
