Cutter Aviation is celebrating a major expansion of its FBO ramp at Prescott Regional/Ernest A. Love Field Airport (KPRC) today in Arizona. The project added 86,973 sq ft to its apron, giving it a total of 5.5 acres of space, and enlarged the facility’s car parking lot by more than 24,000 sq ft.
According to the company, the work was required to accommodate the increasing demand for aviation services in the greater Phoenix area and will improve its operational efficiency at KPRC. It is holding a grand opening reception this afternoon to showcase the project’s completion.
“We are excited to reach this significant milestone in Prescott,” said company president and CEO Will Cutter. “This expansion helps us meet the growing demand in the area and better serve our customers.”
Cutter—which is celebrating its 97th anniversary this year—has five other FBOs, including Phoenix Sky Harbor (KPHX), Phoenix Deer Valley (KDVT), Albuquerque, New Mexico (KABQ), Colorado Springs, Colorado (KCOS), and Georgetown Executive (KGTU) in Texas. It offers aircraft maintenance services at Prescott and Phoenix Sky Harbor, at Centennial Airport (KAPA) near Denver, and in Texas at Addison Airport (KADS) and San Antonio International Airport (KSAT).

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