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.

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!

Proposal

Overview

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

term is two years.

We are projecting fares starting at $59. From time to time we will also have sales to increase

both awareness and passenger counts. We will also cap fares at $199 for the length of our

term.

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.

Price Reduction

If both Alliance and Chadron are selected, Boutique Air will offer a $575,000 discount to the

combined total of the subsidies.

With respect and appreciation,
