About Cutter Aviation
Founded in 1928, Cutter Aviation is America's oldest continually family-owned FBO and aviation service company. In operation for over 80 years, Cutter Aviation operates at eight major airports in the Southwestern United States. Cutter locations in Arizona (Deer Valley and Phoenix Sky Harbor), New Mexico (Albuquerque) and Texas (Dallas Executive, McKinney, El Paso and San Antonio) and Colorado (Colorado Springs) provide a wide range of services to transient and based aircraft including fuel and FBO service, maintenance, avionics, new and pre-owned aircraft sales and charter and aircraft management.
The Phoenix, Deer Valley, Albuquerque, and Dallas Executive facilities are full-service, fixed-base operations, with El Paso, McKinney and Colorado Springs providing line services for transient aircraft. San Antonio provides new and pre-owned aircraft sales as well as maintenance.
Looking Back
Continuously family-owned for eight decades, the company originated as Cutter Flying Service Inc., in Albuquerque. William P. Cutter envisioned a business that would serve the fledgling aviation community - and the resulting enterprise exceeded his expectations. The company survived the Great Depression, and, at the outbreak of World War II, became major pilot training facility for the military. In 1947, the company began its long-standing affiliation with Beech Aircraft Corporation. Since that time, the Cutter name became, and continues to be, synonymous with major and emerging aircraft brands ranging from piston singles to light and medium turbine aircraft.
Looking Ahead
Over the years, Cutter has maintained a position of leadership in the general aviation community by consistently expanding its services and its locations. Cutter Aviation, Inc., opened its Phoenix operation in 1959. The El Paso facility opened in 1982, Deer Valley followed in 1997, San Antonio in 1998, Dallas in 2002, and McKinney and Colorado Springs in 2006. Cutter remains strong due to an unwavering commitment to customer service, customer and employee satisfaction, and business practices rooted in our core values of respect, trust and integrity.
Company President Will Cutter reinforces this: "These are key ingredients to a formula that has kept us at the forefront of the industry. They have helped us establish a reputation that we are all proud of. Our values have served us well for eighty years, and without them, Cutter would be just another run-of-the-mill service station for airplanes."

I fly into Cutter at McKinney about three times per year. Always a good experience.

Have used Cutter/McKinney several times, a very professional bunch operating a clean, modern facility. My latest stop featured the passing of some nasty convective activity and the optional overnight hangar space at $25 for a single seemed quite reasonable. Plus, finding the old BE36 parked just outside the door when I arrived for scheduled departure made me feel like a Gulfstream driver.

Cutter has nice facilities that make a north DFW stop painless. They could use a couple more computers that print. The linemen are usually pretty prompt but the counter staff is not the swiftest when trying to wrap up invoices. Maintenance and avionics are very friendly and fast when needing any plane servicing.

If you are looking for a no frills, cheap fuel stop, this isn’t it, but it is first class, professional service. I use this FBO several times a year and I have never had a bad experience.

I’ve been to several FBO's and I think this one takes the cake. I flew out yesterday, and had AMAZING service. Fuel is a little high, but was expected.

My recent trip into Dallas got off to a late start and I called Cutter to advise them I would be arriving very late and please just leave my rental car for me where I could get it. I arrived at 2:30am and to my surprise saw line supervisor Jimmy Majors - wands in hand - waving me in with my rental car waiting and a warm welcome at hand. I was astonished to see someone there at that hour and felt somewhat guilty in having this gentleman out at this hour in the morning but Jimmy just loves his job...And it shows. He had been tracking my flight and wanted to make sure he was back at the airport in time to greet my late arrival. These people at Cutter are the epitome of customer service. Everyone made me feel like I was flying a G-V. I highly recommend this FBO and heap praise upon their staff. They were outstanding!!!

I can't say enough about how good Cutter was. The airport is a great place near the Dallas area to get fuel. I stopped in a Piper Warrior for a quick fuel turn. They met me at the plane to get me parked. They had it fueled within ten minutes of me being there. The facilities are great and they even had someone out there to see me off. Great place!

Great line & customer service, quick turnaround and a very friendly tower BUT 100LL at $5.49 a gallon makes you feel like Cutter is trying to save their ramp space for only the Jet A burners. Plenty of cheaper 100LL options within 25 miles of TKI.

I recently traveled to Cutter for a number of days. I took on some fuel, but was surprised when the price was different than the guaranteed price posted on AirNav ($5.09 vs. $5.49). I asked for the guaranteed price, but was told by the cashier/desk attendant that she could not match it. She did give me the fuel at $5.29, however. I was a little put off, but was very happy with the service thus far, so I happily paid. The night before we left I asked whether they had a heated hangar and was told they did. I asked for the plane to be put in it overnight. When we arrived the next morning, I found out that the only heated hangar is the maintenance hangar and our plane was put in a conventional (unheated) hangar. During this conversation, my credit card was being processed for 4 nights of ramp fees and 1 night in a hangar. To Cutter's credit, the cashier felt bad for the confusion and waived all of our ramp fees and hangar fee. I was very pleased with the gesture. Thank you.

We stopped in on 10-13 & 10-16, and had previously requested quick turns with services. On both dates, services were provided extremely quickly. Down time on both occasions were 20 minutes. The line crew was very efficient, friendly, and safe. The CSRs at the front desk were wonderful. The facilities are very nice and comfortable. This is an excellent FBO!

Stopped in at cutter at about 9:00 PM on 9/14/2007 to pick up an airplane the next day. Was met at the ramp by two very nice linemen. There Tow was broke down but they led us to an overnight parking spot & tied down the plane. Even though we didn't need fuel they gave us a nearly new courtesy car, called a motel for us and gave us a map on how to get there and to local restaurants. Extremely nice people & very nice facilities. Recommend highly!!!

Stopped in on Cutter on way to South Texas and then on the way back home. A starter issue on Saturday morning of the Labor Day weekend brought out Charles of Airo Services. Did a great job identifying the issue, tracking down the part and is a pleasure to work with. The line crew and gang working the desks were very nice and helpful during our mechanical delay. Second stop in was as pleasant as the first. A bit of a wait for weather over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri was made better by the nice group at Cutter. Hope to have a reason to stop by again sometime soon.

Stopped in at Cutter and left my airplane from 7/23-29/07. Their service was excellent - I was met by two linemen when I arrived and upon leaving and they were very helpful. Laura Poynor at the desk was also very helpful and courteous. They have Enterprise onsite, but call Avis, they will drop off and pick-up if you have a wizard number which is obtained for free at the AOPA site. When going to Dallas, this is the place, Tower is helpful and you won't have to deal with the aircraft traffic.

Cutter is professional service from start to finish. Friendly, competent staff. KTKI is a great airport from the runways, navaids to the great guys in the tower. Definitely a great place to stop in north Dallas. Thanks!

Great service.... But the GUARANTEED $4.79 a gallon was in reality $5.09...?

A GREAT experience. When I arrived, they immediately brought my rental car to the plane, helped unload my bags, and made me feel like royalty. When I departed, I called ahead, my plane was brought out to the front ramp, fueled, and the line guy was cleaning the bugs off of my prop and wings. He even said that he'd clean the belly if I would give him another 30 minutes! This is a top-notch operation and I most certainly will return!!!

Overall a nice place to land in the Dallas area. Good service. Rental car was pulled up to plane. Had problem with Enterprise overcharging for the car, but it was corrected, but Cutter was not helpful and would not deal with Enterprise (even though Cutter handled all the paperwork). Tower was great, no problems, even set me up for Flight Following to Houston.

Once again Cutter has proven it is one of the best in the business. We came into TKI on a busy Friday evening, and still were treated with the same promptness and courtesy as the jets that were arriving. Best of all, Paul and his weekend crew were just as helpful and courteous to us on our weekend departure. This is one FBO where the service levels remain high, even when the regular weekday management is not around. Thanks to Paul and his crew.

Fantastic service, polite and courteous in every respect, Laura and Rachel were extremely helpful, line guys are the most helpful and polite I've experienced, this is the best place to stop in East Dallas period! Thanks Cutter Aviation. BTW, even the tower is friendly, you'd thought I was flying something other than a PA28-161.

Just a little e-mail to acknowledge the fine service and personal touch to customer service that I received today at Cutter Aviation. Three line service reps greeted my A-36 and offered assistance (including a volunteer to clean my windshield). I only wish that I could expect this type of service at my home base. Atta-boy Jimmy and crew. P.S. I'll be back in the Citation next time.

Stopped by on two occasions, both have been pleasant. Nice clean facilities with room for your passengers. Even though I was in a single, the line treated me as if I were in something much larger. Fees and fuel prices are typical of this size FBO. It would be nice if the counter staff stayed a little later in the evening, but other than that, I have no complaints. We will be back.
