Cutter Aviation Consolidates Dallas, TX Operations to
McKinney, TX Location
May 5, 2010
DALLAS, TX - A leading provider of aviation services in the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area since 2002, Cutter Aviation has finalized a
plan to consolidate all metro-area operations to Cutter Aviation’s growing North
Dallas location in McKinney, TX at Collin County Regional Airport (TKI). The consolidation will move all aircraft
maintenance and technical services operations from their current location at
Dallas Executive Airport (RBD) in South Dallas to a new facility in McKinney
later this summer, joining Cutter Aviation’s current fuel & line service,
new & pre-owned aircraft sales, and air charter departments already in
operation at Cutter Aviation McKinney.
“This is a fantastic growth opportunity for both
Cutter Aviation and Collin County Regional Airport in McKinney” said Steven
Prieser, Vice President and CFO for Cutter Aviation. “Many of our customers live and work in the
growing area in North Dallas, easily connected by Highway 75 and this
consolidation brings a convenient, full-service Fixed-Based Operator (FBO)
facility to McKinney for the first time to better serve them.”
As part of the transition, Cutter Aviation’s Factory
Authorized Aircraft Service Center certifications for Piper Aircraft,
Daher-Socata TBM, and Hawker Beechcraft will also be part of the move to
McKinney as well as Authorized Service & Installation Center certifications
for Pratt & Whitney Canada, Teledyne-Continental, Raisbeck Engineering, BLR
Winglets, and Blackhawk Modifications.
“We are proud to say that our experienced team of
technicians, inspectors, and administrators will be making the move to McKinney
with us” said Dennis Constantine, Director of Cutter Aviation Technical
Services. “The same great service and
the same great people that our customers know and trust will be there in
McKinney as they were at Dallas Executive.”
Because of the consolidation decision, Cutter Aviation
has also sold its fuel and line services business at Dallas Executive Airport to
The Jet Center of Dallas. The Jet Center
of Dallas took over these operations on May 4, 2010. Cutter Aviation Aircraft Service will remain in
operation as a tenant of the Jet Center of Dallas at that location until our
new facility in McKinney is ready for occupancy in late Summer.
“We’re still 100% open for all aircraft maintenance
and service at Cutter Aviation Dallas Executive, and will remain so until the
new shop in McKinney is ready for us” said Marty Sisk, Service Manager at
Cutter Aviation Dallas. “We’re going to
work very hard to make the move as easy as possible for our customers and
expect only a short pause in active work when the actual move takes place later
this summer.”
Cutter Aviation encourages current and future service
customers as well as anyone in the aviation community to sign up online for the
email mailing list of regular updates on the status of the transition and the
progress of the new facility through the summer. The website address to do so is: http://www.cutteraviation.com/dallas-update
