Phoenix FBO Approved for Flights to Washington National

Cutter Aviation, an FBO at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, has been approved by the Transportation Security Administration as a gateway for business aviation flights to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Cutter is the second Arizona FBO and one of fewer than 80 facilities nationwide to receive such approval. Since Sept. 11, 2001, flights to the airport--which is only three miles from downtown Washington D.C.--have been restricted. Aircraft operators and FBOs must comply with strict security standards before being approved for operations into Washington National.
