Cutter Aviation, the U.S. Southwest-based aviation services provider, has broken ground on a ramp expansion at its facility at Arizona's Prescott Regional Airport (KPRC), where it operates the lone FBO.
The project will add 86,973 sq ft of ramp space, bringing the FBO—one of six owned by Cutter in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas—just shy of seven acres of aircraft parking space. It will also increase the vehicle parking lot space by 25,000 sq ft. It is expected to be completed in first-quarter 2025 and Cutter said the work will not hinder its operations at KPRC.
“We are excited about increasing our ramp presence in Prescott,” said Will Cutter, president and CEO of the family-owned business—one of the oldest names in business aviation. “With based and transient traffic on the rise, this expansion fits the growing needs of general aviation at the Prescott airport.”
Cutter also operates satellite sales and maintenance support facilities at Denver Centennial Airport (KAPA) and in Texas at Addison (KADS) and San Antonio International (KSAT) airports.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
