Key Takeaways:

  • The expansion will create 50 new jobs at the Duluth facility, contributing to Cirrus's plan to hire over 400 employees company-wide this year to address high demand and a significant order backlog extending into 2024 and beyond.

Cirrus Aircraft continues to grow its footprint across the U.S., having made investments in Knoxville, Tennessee, and other locations to serve its fleet of SR series piston airplanes and the SF50 Vision Jet. But it hasn’t turned its back on the town where it all started: Duluth, Minnesota.

On Friday, the company announced that it has expanded its Paint and Finish Facility at the Duluth International Airport (KDLH) by 16,000 square feet—bringing it to 86,000 square feet—increasing its paint-spraying capacity by roughly 35 percent. Cirrus has recently added a long list of premium paint options (such as the Himalayan Salt option on the SR22T) to both its SR and SF50 color schemes. The new space will help the company deliver on those options.
