Cutter Aviation, a family-owned aviation services company, is expanding its maintenance operations with the opening of a new 22,000-square-foot hangar and office complex at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) in Colorado. The facility will serve as a designated service bulletin modification center for Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jets and provide comprehensive airframe and engine support for both the PC-24 and PC-12 turboprop.

Why it matters

This expansion reflects Cutter Aviation's continued commitment to supporting Pilatus aircraft owners and operators in a key geographic location within the Southwest region. The new facility will help meet growing demand for maintenance, avionics, and interior refurbishment services for these popular business and private aircraft.

The details

The new KBJC facility is led by General Manager Josh Golabi and offers a suite of services including full-service engine and airframe maintenance, complete avionics installations and upgrades, and interior refurbishments. Cutter Aviation plans to break ground on a second 22,000-square-foot hangar at the same airport later this year to further expand its capacity.
