About Boutique Air

Our Story

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, 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 Los Angeles and Las Vegas in January of 2014.

On April 22, 2014 the DOT selected Boutique Air to provide EAS between Clovis and DFW. We

anticipate beginning service in 60-90 days.

In Huron

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 Huron gets the support and attention it expects and deserves.

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

Visitors Bureau, developing partnerships with local businesses, supporting local charities, and

attending events.

City of Clovis, NM

Flew with Boutique from LA to Vegas and back and must say I was extremely surprised. From

the ease of check-in, To the flight itself, the whole process was great. Price was competitive

with any other airline out there. I plan on flying boutique for all my Vegas outings, and may

even look into renting the whole plane for a group trip. Thanks Boutique!
