Fly Louie has added Cutter Aviation to its Fly Alliance Preferred FBO network. Cutter Aviation will now serve as the exclusive provider of discounted Fly Louie fuel rates to charter operators at Albuquerque International Sunport airport in New Mexico, and at both Phoenix Deer Valley airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International airport in Arizona. The Fly Louie Alliance Preferred FBO network includes over 80 partner operators nationwide, and Alliance members are able to use the Fly Louie Avfuel Card to take advantage of special fuel rates.

Founded as Cutter Flying Service in Albuquerque in 1928, Cutter Aviation was one of the first FBOs established in the nation. It is now considered to be one of the premier aircraft services providers in the US southwest and still maintains its status as a family-owned and operated company, with Will Cutter currently serving as president and CEO.

In March 2022, Cutter began construction on a new $12 million dollar hangar complex at Phoenix Deer Valley airport, the nation's second-busiest general aviation airport. The first phase of the new 60,000 sq ft hangar is expected to be completed by early 2023.

The Cutter team is optimistic about the future of the partnership with Fly Louie. “We're honoured to be part of the Fly Louie Preferred FBO network and excited for the exposure to the 250 private charter operators in the Alliance,” says Will Cutter.

Fly Louie fuel savings will be available exclusively at Cutter locations at the three locations, with hopes to expand to its Georgetown Municipal airport and Prescott Regional airport locations in Texas and Arizona respectively.

Fly Louie CEO Julia Takeda adds: “We are proud to welcome Cutter Aviation to the Fly Louie Network of Preferred FBOs. Its locations represent key markets for our Alliance members, and we've received phenomenal feedback on the service it provides to our Alliance membership. We look forward to expanding our footprint and growing with Cutter, especially given its recent FBO acquisitions.”
