Cirrus Aircraft Begins Work On New Dallas Facility 

The planned sales and service hub will cover 45,000 square feet and include customer amenities.

Cirrus Aircraft said it broke ground for a new facility at McKinney National Airport (KTKI) in Dallas. The company said it plans to use the expanded space for aircraft sales, flight training, factory service, and aircraft management.  

Cirrus said it plans to invest $13 million in the new facility, which will have a total of 45,000 square feet of space, including a 15,000-square-foot service hangar, 15,000-square-foot storage hangar, a flight simulation space, eight shade canopies, a retail store, and a lounge for customers.

“The Dallas Metroplex is a central location for many of our SR Series and Vision Jet owners,” said Todd Simmons, president of customer experience at Cirrus. “With this new expansion at Cirrus McKinney, we are excited to continue enhancing the aircraft ownership experience for our current owners and also create an environment to introduce more people to the benefits of personal aviation.”

Currently the Cirrus McKinney operation employs more than 50 people, Cirrus said, adding that it “plans to continue adding more career opportunities in the future.” Cirrus has long been a leader in customer experience among general aviation manufacturers. In March the company launched an app to help shoppers configure their aircraft, and last month Cirrus marked the sale of its 9,000th SR series aircraft.
