Cirrus Aircraft is celebrating a business milestone with the delivery of its 5,000th SR airplane, an N5000J. The company, which began production in Duluth, Minnesota just 11 short years ago in 1999, has gone from an entrepreneurial dream to a global aviation company with aircraft delivered in more than 60 countries around the world.
“The delivery of the 5,000th airplane underscores Cirrus' business success in the aviation industry,” said Todd Simmons, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Cirrus Aircraft. “All of our aircraft owners, employees and partners are rightfully proud of what we have accomplished together,” said Simmons.
