Cutter Breaks Ground on Colorado Springs FBO Expansion

Cutter Aviation broke ground today on an expansion of its FBO terminal at Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, where it has had a presence since 2006 when it acquired former FBO Discount Fuels. The event was attended by Colorado Springs mayor John Suthers, airport director Dan Gallagher and other local officials, as well as Cutter executives and employees.

The 5,400-sq-ft addition, expected to be completed in May, will bring the terminal space to 9,000 sq ft. Designed in the architectural style of a mountain retreat, it will be the foundation of Cutter’s major expansion plan at Colorado Springs.

The company has doubled its leasehold to 16 acres and purchased a 23,000-sq-ft hangar capable of sheltering a Boeing 737, which brings its aircraft storage space on the field to 132,000 sq ft. It recently completed a 62,000-gallon fuel farm.
