More Workers, More Orders

It is not your imagination Cirrus aircraft seems to be everywhere these days. The once elusive SR20s and SR22s have grabbed more than a foothold in the market place, according to a Cirrus statement to ANN. The company, based in Duluth (MN) cites the increase in production, SR20 Version 2.0 and the very popular options of Ice Protection and Primary Flight Display. Even though over 800 aircraft are in the fleet, there are still special ‘milestones’ to be celebrated, like 500 customer-owned SR22s.

Nabil El-Hage of Massachusetts and Rob Mulderig of Bermuda were surprised to learn their partnership marked a ‘milestone’ when they took possession of their SR22, last week at Cirrus headquarters. It was number 500 off the line. The SR22’s performance, Primary Flight Display and delivery within a few months, have kept the plane, popular with general aviation pilots looking for a bit more zip in the air.

Cirrus CEO Alan Klapmeier says, “Cirrus is the only certified general aviation aircraft equipped with a Primary Flight Display. That fact has helped to set us apart from other manufacturers and is generating a great deal of interest in our SR20s and SR22s.” Klapmeier adds that the airplane’s avionics and safety features remain strong selling points for today’s pilots and families.

Cirrus: Got A Trade-In? We're Dealin'!

Cirrus is now accepting trade-ins on any brand of aircraft. Cirrus Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing John Bingham points out, “The unique trade-in program has resulted in a flurry of sales activity for our company. It allows pilots, who want to move up into a new SR20 or SR22, a more efficient way to gain ownership of one of these advanced aircraft.” Bingham urges airplane owners to contact Cirrus to find out the excellent trade in opportunities that exist for their current aircraft through the program.
