About Boutique Air

Our Story

Boutique Air has been in operation since 2007. We began by flying fire surveillance missions for

the U.S. Forestry Service and Bureau of Land Management. We evolved to provide air charter

services from the Burbank, Hawthorne, Las Vegas and Redding airports with our Pilatus and

Cessna fleet of aircraft. As a charter operator we have received certifications from both industry

leading safety organizations, ARG/US and Wyvern. Boutique Air has pilots that are highly

experienced and hold the most advanced FAA ratings ­ a key reason for our continued perfect

safety record.

In July of 2012 Boutique Air applied for commuter operating authority from the Department of

Transportation. We quickly passed tests on financial fitness and management competency,

receiving authority for scheduled service in January of 2013.

We began scheduled service between between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in January of 2014.

In Clovis

We have worked to develop our distribution channels. We have connections in place with all of

the major Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), which travel agents use to access the market.

You will find us on Worldspan and Apollo (Travelport), Sabre, and Amadeus. In addition, we are

on the major Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), including Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Orbitz,

CheapTickets, and CheapOAir.

Furthermore, we have direct channels, such as our website and call center ­ which will be

staffed by locals. We will also be hiring a local station manager and customer service agents to

ensure these communities get the support and attention they expect and deserve.

Finally, we look forward to being active in the community by participating in the Chamber of

Commerce, developing partnerships with local businesses, supporting local charities, and

attending events.

Proposal

Our proposal would be flown in nine­seat, modern, pressurized Pilatus PC­12 aircraft.

We are projecting fares ranging from $79 to $199. Fares are considerably lower than those that

were being offered. From time to time we will also have sales to increase both awareness and

passenger counts.

We are only proposing a two year contract. Because carriers are able to file a 90­day notice to

stop service at anytime in the contract period, we really see no benefit to the community in

selecting any carrier for four years. It commits the community, with no commitment from the

carrier.

Community Input

Shortly after the bids are posted to the docket, Boutique Air will schedule meetings to meet with

city officials and private citizens. This will allow us to answer any questions and provide

additional information.

While we can’t promise we will be able to implement everyone’s suggestions, we welcome

feedback from the citizens of these communities, as well as anyone who may have an interest in

the proposed flights. What we can promise is that we will listen to your feedback, and give it the

attention and consideration it deserves.

With respect and appreciation,
