Cutter Aviation Phoenix, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX)

Cutter Aviation Phoenix is the Cutter Aviation FBO at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. It serves pilots, aircraft owners, crews, passengers and technicians. Cutter Aviation describes itself as a family owned and operated FBO and aviation services company known throughout the Southwest.

The company was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1928 as Cutter Flying Service. It says it was one of the first FBOs in the country, built only two years after the Air Commerce Act of 1926. The business came through the Great Depression and World War II by flying air charter trips. These flights reached ranches, towns and businesses across the rugged land of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.

Cutter also sold aircraft and offered line and fuel services to visiting pilots. It became a Phillips 66 Aviation fuel dealer in 1938. It added aircraft maintenance to support the growing number of aircraft in the Southwest. After the war, the company kept growing and expanded west.

Today the company serves customers in several areas. Its contact form lists FBO services, aircraft sales, a shared ownership program, charter, maintenance and services, avionics and parts. The company also lists careers.

On the technical side, Cutter runs 145 repair stations in Phoenix, Addison and San Antonio in Texas, and Denver, Colorado. It also runs 135 charter operations and has a client relationship team. Maintenance locations on the website include Addison, Denver, San Antonio, Phoenix and Prescott.
