Cutter Aviation Reaches Pilatus Delivery Century Mark

Cutter Aviation marked a major milestone yesterday with the redelivery of the 100th new Pilatus aircraft as the OEM’s dealer for the Texas, Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado territory. Representatives from both companies, including Pilatus Aircraft USA CEO Oliver Mohl, gathered for the event at the airframer’s U.S. facility in Broomfield, Colorado, to celebrate their continued partnership as Cutter accepted the milestone PC-24. The light jet will enter Cutter’s shared ownership program and be based at its Phoenix headquarters.

In 2018, Cutter was named an authorized Pilatus sales and service center and has since delivered 73 PC-12 turboprop singles and 27 PC-24s. This latest news highlights Cutter’s rapid growth as it continues to expand its Pilatus sales, service, maintenance, avionics, and support operations across the Southwest.

“This is a really special milestone for our company,” said Cutter president and CEO Will Cutter. “To reach 100 new Pilatus aircraft deliveries in such a relatively short period of time says a lot about the strength of the Pilatus product line, the relationship we’ve built with Pilatus Aircraft, and the trust our customers place in our team every day.”

The announcement comes as Cutter approaches its 100th anniversary. Founded in 1928, it is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated FBO in the U.S. and provides aircraft sales, maintenance, avionics, charter, aircraft management, and FBO services throughout the Southwest.

"For nearly a decade, Cutter Aviation has represented the Pilatus brand with professionalism, integrity, and a customer-first approach that aligns perfectly with our own values,” said Oliver Möhl, who was named president and CEO of Pilatus Aircraft USA in May. “Celebrating 100 Pilatus deliveries is an extraordinary accomplishment, and we are honored to recognize this milestone while looking ahead to the continued growth of our partnership."
