United, Boutique Air codeshare to grow Denver network

The codeshare tie-up between United Airlines and Boutique Air gives the US major extensive reach into smaller communities, particularly from its Denver hub, while giving the regional operator both passenger feed and a leg up as it looks to grow its extensive Essential Air Service (EAS)-focused operation. The deal expands on an existing interline agreement, in place since May 2017, by putting United’s code on Boutique’s flights throughout the regional carrier’s 30-destination network, including 7 served nonstop from Denver International, a United hub. Boutique, which started out flying surveillance missions for the US govt in 2007, did not get into the scheduled-service business until 2014. It has grown quickly and is eyeing adding more cities, which will benefit the communities it serves as well as its newest partner. <br/>
