Cutter Aviation has opened its fifth southwest U.S. maintenance facility, at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) in Broomfield, Colorado. The roughly 22,000-sq-ft facility provides maintenance services for Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and PC-24 twinjets and is a designated PC-24 service bulletin modification center.
The KBJC location is led by general manager Josh&nbsp;Golabi; he also runs Cutter Aviation’s maintenance facility at Centennial Airport (KAPA) in Englewood, Colorado. Technicians at the KBJC and other facilities have been factory-trained on the Pilatus models.
As a Pilatus-authorized sales and service center for the past eight years, Cutter Aviation provides engine and airframe maintenance, avionics installations, interior refurbishments, parts support, and other services.
“We are committed to growing our network throughout the Southwest,” said Will Cutter, president and CEO of Cutter Aviation. “Now that the facility is open, we are already delivering faster, more reliable support to our Pilatus customers.”
“This expansion reflects Cutter’s continued commitment to supporting Pilatus owners and operators, and reinforces the strength of our longstanding partnership,” said Colin Marrer, interim v-p of customer service at Pilatus.
