# 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. 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.



### EAS Contracts On April 22, 2014 the DOT selected Boutique Air to provide EAS between Clovis and DFW. We began service in July of 2014, and have since received very positive feedback from the business community, town council, and airport board. We have also experienced a steady increase in passenger counts since we first began providing service. On December 4th, 2014 the DOT awarded Boutique Air a second EAS route of 4 round trips per day between Silver City and ABQ. We began service January 5th, 2015 and have experienced increasing passenger counts and positive customer feedback.BOUTIQUE AIR 548 Market St San Francisco, CA t. 415.449.0505 f. 415.738.7671
