Kerrie and Chantel went out of their way to make us feel valued even though we were the only a single engine Cessna among the heavy corporate iron.
Jessi and her team at ABQ are outstanding. Jessi (the GM) took personal care of me when I diverted to ABQ with a small electrical problem. She made sure I was able to get the services I needed and made sure I knew all the costs upfront. They found me a hotel with a discounted rate and were very professional and attentive. The fact that I was in a single-engine piston did not matter. They provided first-rate service! Definitely, recommended!

The reason I'm sending you this e-mail is to express our gratitude for the FANTASTIC support you gave us during our recent stay with you. I have traveled a lot in my career, and have NEVER, and I do mean NEVER, experienced F.B.O. that was good as yours! Your crew was more than helpful! Anything we would even ask for was provided immediately! What a pleasant experience
I'm writing to thank you for the outstanding service we received upon our arrival at Cutter Albuquerque on June 30, 2015. Our rental car from Hertz was brought to the plane and stocked with cold bottles of water. The passenger transition from plane to car was quick and efficient. We had been traveling in the heat of the middle of the day and the rental car A/C was on high and the chilled water was much appreciated. Everyone worked together

I lead a Customer Experience (CX) team at a large software mfg., and will be using my Cutter experience as a great aspirational example. Always above and beyond, always caring about you and your family, and I only fly a prop plane. It makes you WANT to do business with them whenever possible. Reasonable prices are great (and they have those), top-notch customer experience is

I decided to stop overnight in ABQ for weather due to weather concerns, He recommended to me a hotel, got a room for me at the Cutter rate, and drove me to the hotel. He said that either he or another CSR would pick me up in the morning and I can get back on my way home. These people are real class. Cutter has my unqualified endorsement.
I arrived on September 19th for a couple of days in the bright red Pitts Model 12. Due to weather to the east, I was unable to leave and all of the good folks took exceptional care of me and the aircraft I was entrusted to ferry for my customer.
I’ve been a customer since the early 1980s. Never have had a bad experience in ABQ.
Cutter in ABQ is a real class act. I recently flew my Piper Archer into ABQ for a fuel stop along my planned route but ended up spending the night due to bad wx. Cutter literally rolled out the red carpet for us. I was treated like I taxied onto the ramp in a Gulfstream. They gave us rides to a restaurant and hotel and had the plane ready and fueled for our morning departure as well as cleaned our

When we arrived at the FBO, Alexandra was talented at multi-tasking, and Promise and Melissa were so friendly and professional. Both on the ramp and inside, we were so impressed with Kerrie - she obviously sets the bar for customer service very high here - and she leads by shining example. The line crew guys are some of the most helpful, friendly

Was here again last weekend. Same good service and fuel discount for AOPA members.
Been into a couple of Cutter Aviations. All have been good, but the folks here at ABQ are exceptional!
Thank you for the great service yesterday at ABQ and helping us make our Angel Flight mission from SDL to ABQ, a success and a pleasant experience... You folks are the best!!
My family stopped at Cutter Aviation in Albuquerque a couple of times this past week while traveling in our A36 Bonanza. I had also stopped there in my Bonanza a year ago while on the last legs of an around the world trip. What an outstanding FBO! On every occasion, all of the staff -- without exception -- have been welcoming, friendly and helpful in every way. This is a first-rate operation. I've found none better.
Cutter definitely sets a high standard for FBO services. Been about a year since we were here last, but it was like returning home. Jeff parked, greeted & helped with luggage. Promise arranged hangar, hotel & transportation almost before we could down the bottle of water they provided. Next morning plane was out and fueled on time & Kerrie helped with luggage and marshaling us out. Nice people here. I was particularly impressed at how courteous all the staff were,
...read moreWe stopped here because the last time we stopped here they were awesome. They didn't disappoint this time either. We don't get to ABQ as often as we'd like but when we do this is our entry point.
I fly helicopters for an air ambulance company and visited Cutter ABQ regularly over the past few months. I just wanted to pass on to management how impressed I have been with the friendly & helpful staff and the clean & welcoming facilities. Middle of a busy day or 3 AM, the staff have always been friendly, helpful and professional. Stopping for fuel at Cutter was a pleasure, not a chore. The brownies and lemonade helped of course!
Made an inflight decision to divert here. Despite my unexpected arrival I received the same great service I've received in the past. The plane was refueled before I even stepped inside the building. They found me a hotel room at a really good rate and shuttled me over. My AOPA membership resulted in a fuel discount and the first night's fees were waived.
Great FBO! Have used several times since May for fuel. They have it down right. Nice FBO facilities too.
My fiancée and I flew into Cutter on January 9, 2021. From the moment we turned into the ramp, the Line Techs and CSRs ensured our complete satisfaction. Our rental car was parked plane side. Inclement weather was going to be an issue and I asked for a hangar, it was no issue at all. The following day when I returned, my plane was pulled out onto the ramp and waiting for me. Even in a little Archer they make
...read morePleasant and personable FBO even for a single engine prop. Provided free shuttle van ride to local hotel and had my plane up front and ready for departure with 30-minute notice. Waived one-day ramp fee for fuel purchase. Loved watching the military jets come and go. Will be back.
Stopped for Balloon Fiesta. Very helpful crew. Had my bags, took me to a local hotel, gave my 4-year-old son a wooden airplane and some goodies (after asking me if it was ok), which made his day. The whole experience was very easy, quick and painless. Definitely going back next year.
I echo all the superlatives commented by other pilots. Chantel went far beyond the call of duty to make local arrangements including loaning one of their offices for an important meeting. Cutter is a truly first-class operation.
We made a spur of the moment decision to overnight here on our way back from the Midwest due to weather and timing. Same great service even on short notice and even without a reservation. Fees waived with minimum fuel purchase and an AOPA member discount too.
From the front desk, line crew and management Cutter Aviation rolled out the red carpet for our 5 day stay. The best customer service and support we've experienced in a very long time. Thank you Cutter Aviation!
I was recently at Cutter at ABQ and PHX. My home base is ILG in Delaware. I am a CCA Member. Stayed at PHX for 4 days and ABQ for 6 days. Aircraft is a Premier 1A, N103SK. Had Enterprise rental car at each location. My total experience at each location was great. FBO personnel were great. I wanted to let you know this. Thank you.
Thanks for taking such good care of us regulars (Lifeguard 10 from KROW). We fly in several times per week and really appreciate the quality service.
I just wanted to let all my friends at Cutter Aviation know that I am retiring from professional flying. Appropriately, I finished my last flight, arriving at Cutter in an Eclipse the night of February 2, 2019.
I have been a licensed pilot for 64 years and have flown in the military and as a professional pilot for 59 years, and now it’s time that I spend a little more time with my wife of 59 years. It’s been a

Cutter ABQ knows service and everyone is on the same page. They continue

We went in and Ashlee and Shelby were quick to assist. Very Professional. Chaves was very nice as well and helped with luggage. Will be back in the near future! Love Cutter ABQ!
Awesome facility. Very nice and clean. A lot of areas to flight plan and relax. The staff is super friendly and willing to help with any questions or concerns you have. Will definitely be back here. -BKR (VFA-154)
I had several special requests today to do my test work on a G650. We needed two fuel trucks fully fueled to refuel to the weight we needed. Everything was handled professionally and expediously. A great FBO in my last 17 years of stopping there. Thanks.
Flew through last week on a round trip to Arizona. Rolling in a piston single - stopped at Cutter KABQ both ways. Wife likes to bring the pooch on the longer trips. Karrie at Cutter was awesome! Literally brought out the red carpet, water and treats for the dog. Counter staff is super nice; linemen are super fast! Not our first time here, and certainly won't be the last. Thanks Cutter, you're still our favorite FBO!
Our arrival confirmed Cutter to be the "Best of the West" FBO. From guidance to our special do-not-tow parking, to the immediate roll-up of our car to the aircraft, you confirmed why I have visited your FBO since my first 1980 visit taking a Cessna 150 from Iowa to LA. Thanks for the superb work. I have flown left front seat over every continent but Antarctica, but I have never visited a better FBO.
Very friendly staff, clean facilities and free awesome brownie squares and pink lemonade!
I've used Cutter at other airports in the past and the same great service was provided at this location. For a Cessna 182 the ramp fee is $20 and the overnight tiedown fee is $10 per night. The ramp fee and the first night's tiedown is waived with a 20 gallon fuel purchase. AOPA members receive a 25-cent discount per gallon.
Consistently outstanding service in every way! Called ahead, Alexandra provided info about fees, hangar, and transportation. Met by "follow-me" truck on arrival. Jeff & Seth got us parked and helped with bags. Leo arranged hotel/transportation. Jeff drove us to hotel. Next morning plane was pulled from hangar & fueled on time. Kerrie helped with loading. Remember Jeff & Kerrie from previous trips. Outstanding people made everything about visit go smoothly. Thank you!
I stayed with Cutter overnight last week. When I had asked on BeechTalk.Com which FBO to use at KABQ, the unanimous feedback was "Cutter". Now I understand why. Quick, friendly service, trying to help in any possible way. Got 20 lbs of free ice for my B-Kool on the morning of departure. I'll be back at KABQ this weekend and will use Cutter again.
Recently flew into Cutter at ABQ to provide transportation for a Wounded Warrior who was confined to a wheelchair. The staff at Cutter rolled out the "red carpet" for the wounded vet and his family and the airplane crew. They supplied a forklift to load the vet into the cargo door of the Pilatus. This FBO supports vets and I highly recommend their service. Friendly staff, nice environment, lounge and good cookies!!
I did an overnight stop over in ABQ on Saturday the 15th of Sep and as usual, Cutter provided excellent service in every way. They treat the piston guys just as nice as the Turbines and my dogs are always welcome.
My experience with Cutter at KABQ has been consistently excellent. I stopped last week in my Bonanza going from California to Oklahoma, and stopped again coming back. Everyone was friendly and helpful from the counter staff to line staff. They give a 25-cent discount on fuel prices with an AOPA card and waived all fees, including overnight fee, because of my fuel purchase. Super friendly, helpful and easy to deal with. Give Cutter a try.
Stopped for night 11/19/15. Met by follow-me truck. 2 line guys offered to help with bags. CSRs offered help with hotel reservation and courtesy transportation. Aircraft fueled and up front ready to go on time next morning. Thank you, Grant, Elizabeth, Kerrie who made everything about this stop first class. We'll be back.
Arrived here in a Mooney for a quick turn fuel stop. We were met immediately by smiling faces and a can-do attitude. Excellent customer service and a great facility in general. I will definitely be back to this FBO. Thanks!
Stopped here again on an eastbound trip and found same outstanding service as before. Promise, Alexandra, & Leo at the desk are very efficient with arrangements. Kerrie, Jeff, Matt & Seth on the line were amazing with parking, luggage, and directing traffic. The B-17 was on their ramp and was set up in the lobby to give tours and rides, but the Cutter staff was courteous and accommodating making the entire experience here pleasant. Thank you, we'll be back.
I've been in and out of Cutter ABQ over the past several years and the crew in and outside of the building is outstanding. Beyond excellent customer service, they are all very COVID conscious wearing face protection and remaining socially distant.
Arrived at 9 p.M. June 24. Met by line personnel promptly, receptionist found hotel despite major athletic event in city, gave ride there and back next morning. Aircraft hangared because of strong winds (38g50) and brought out as scheduled. Needed hydraulic fluid and mechanic obliged without charge. Cutter is not cheap but there is no better service anywhere.
My ex-wife was from ABQ so I have visited Cutter ABQ more times than I can count. (The logbook says 70.) I even proposed in their conference room. (Hey, it was romantic for me!) Still, I have always considered Cutter ABQ the "gold standard" when it comes to FBOs. It doesn't matter if you arrive in a G5 or a 50-year-old Prop, the staff consistently provides friendly and helpful first-class service. They don't charge egregious fees and the ones they

When we landed, the sandwiches were there, fuelers were ready and we were on our way in short order. Best service of nearly any FBO out there, and great attitudes. Thanks Cutter ABQ.
Arrived for first time use since 1994! Jet was promptly met by line personnel and quickly fueled for a departure. After paying for fuel, decided to grab some lunch and counter personnel recommended DION's. Crew car, excellent directions and on our way to great lunch. All personnel provided excellent customer service! As needed, we will return for fuel and service on our cross-country trips.
Excellent as usual. Ramp agents were polite and professional. The desk staff was helpful and courteous. Offered water and souvenir green chili. The plane was waiting in front as scheduled.
I have visited Cutter at ABQ several times during the past year. The line staff know exactly how to handle my Eclipse (which makes sense, since Eclipse Aerospace is right next door!). The front desk staff are friendly and competent. Really an exemplary operation.
Absolutely the place to be at ABQ. All great service with a smile. Hangar, car, fuel, etc. I shall return.
Stopped through Cutter with a Piper Pacer on an overnight, but ended up staying for two days because of starting problems. Everyone was very helpful in getting great hotel rates and rides to and from the Best Western (also very nice) and eventually the airline terminal for the way out.
Flew into ABQ on a DA-40 for an overnight layover with my wife and dog. Staff at Cutter were awesome! Had treats and water for the pooch, gave us a ride to the hotel and picked us up in the morning. Plane was already pulled up, fueled and even had the red carpet laid out. Treated us first class, even though we came in a light single. Will definitely be back!
Still great service. 25 Cents per gallon discount for AOPA members (make sure you have your membership card). Overnight fee is now $20 per night with the first night waived with fuel purchase.
Cutter ABQ is my favorite FBO. Whenever I go to ABQ I know it will painless and welcoming. From pulling you right up to the door. Having the car brought out to the plane and all of the other little things, they make it always pleasant to visit. Not to mention 100LL is reasonably priced.

This is a great FBO! The professionalism and the customer service we received were second to none. Chelsea and Shawn thank you for all that you did for our passengers and us. We will definitely be coming back to Cutter when we're in Albuquerque.
Even though it was only a Cherokee they were servicing, the service was excellent. We parked up front, they towed it away, and when we came back in the morning, they had pulled it back up front for us and had it ready to roll! Extremely good service, couldn't have been better...
I flew into KABQ last week in a light twin, stayed a couple nights, and had first class service from all. Jessi and Crew are always some of the best in the business. If you stop in KABQ, stop at Cutter!
Top-notch experience on a quick turn. Great facilities, great service.
My experience at Cutter ABQ last week was great. The day before arriving I clicked on the Cutter website link on AirNav and was offered a web chat with a service advisor. They quickly arranged everything for our stay, including rental car and a nice discount at the Hotel Andaluz (great boutique hotel downtown!). When we arrived late on Wednesday, they brought the car right up to the Cirrus and gave us directions to the hotel. The next day, the

He brought it over from Phoenix on Sunday evening and I was there waiting for him. I just gotta say, we are both extremely impressed by the consistency of the excellent customer service there! Whatever you are doing, keep doing it! SO many businesses could take some cues from Cutter in ABQ.
I was in again this past weekend and as usual I received great service. Parked out front when I arrived and the plane was put out front again before I returned. AOPA fuel discount still in effect.
As with any Cutter location, they have an army of line workers, great CSRs, and nice facilities. Very easy transition with the car pulled up to the plane for passengers, and a courtesy ride for pilot to air terminal. Great service and will be back.
I needed to overnight at ABQ on a cross-country flight in my Carbon Cub and a friend suggested that I use Cutter (typical word of mouth recommendation). Wow, I'm glad I did! Everyone there from the line guys, to the front desk staff, to the shuttle driver was very genuine and helpful. Usually a staff at a company like this is inconsistent, there are goods staff members and bad so it is just luck what you get, but I very

Diverted here due to weather. Was able to arrange for a rental car on short notice and it was waiting for us when we finally arrived. They arranged for a hotel for us when we returned with the rental car the night before our departure and shuttled us to and from the hotel.
Always a great experience and superior service. Thanks to the line guys Mark, Roberto, and Andrew for prompt and efficient fueling.
Just stopped at KABQ overnight, and the experience with Cutter Aviation was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Will use them again.
Enroute from KCGZ to KEPM we had emergency landing at KABQ due to an extremely strong odor of fuel in the cabin. I cannot say enough good things about the way the emergency was handled by ATC, the staff at Cutter, airport fire department and airport operations manager. They were extremely helpful, courteous & professional. Everyone went beyond what was expected to help us out. The aircraft was cleaned up, repaired and in 2 hours we were on our way
