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 across the west coast with our fleet of

Pilatus and Cessna aircraft. As a charter operator we have received certifications from both

industry-leading safety organizations, ARG/US and Wyvern. Boutique Air employs 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 2014.

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

We have worked to develop effective 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 Boutique Air received its first EAS contract when the DOT selected the airline

to provide service between Clovis and DFW. Since then, we have continued our track record of

success and now serve 11 different EAS communities, and operate out of 21 different airports.

Continuing on a path of successful growth in the EAS market, Boutique Air will begin service to

the communities of McCook, Nebraska and Thief River Falls, Minnesota this summer.

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!
