July 11, 2018 Keep Boutique Air in Silver City 7/11/18 is a special day in Boutique Air History. **We were told that Grant County is looking to have another air service provider out of Silver City.** Boutique Air has more than doubled the passenger traffic that any airline has ever done in Silver City. Overall, from 2015 - 2018 we have flown 35,150 passengers with a completion percentage of 98.56%, making us a reliable choice for all communities across the United States. As you can see below from the historical data, Boutique Air has been doing a great job compared to all other airlines that have served Silver City in the last 15 years. So is now a good time to replace Boutique Air? In fact, in 2016 and 2017 Boutique Air more than doubled the passenger traffic. **We are on track to set a new record in 2018** since we expect to have about 6,000 boardings (or 12,000 passengers total).
