Cirrus Aircraft delivers strong 2015 performance

Cirrus Aircraft reported that new aircraft shipments in 2015 exceeded 300 for the second year in a row.  New unit deliveries for 2015 totaled 301 while the global Cirrus fleet surpassed 6,200 total SR aircraft and amassed over seven million flight hours. In addition to new SR series deliveries, the revolutionary Vision Jet program continued progress toward first customer deliveries in 2016. “2015 was a strong year for the enterprise, both for new aircraft deliveries and for the investments we made for the future,” said Todd Simmons, President of Customer Experience at Cirrus Aircraft. “Delivering over 300 SR airplanes for the second year in a row is an impressive accomplishment, especially in light of some very challenging economic conditions in many export markets. Even so, Cirrus pilots, owners and small business operators continue to demand the unique and innovative options and features available only in the Cirrus high-performance, single-engine piston product line.” Simmons added, “Just as important as new aircraft deliveries in 2015, major milestones were also achieved in the Vision Jet program while we broke ground on the Vision Center – our new Customer Experience center in Knoxville, Tennessee. 2016 sets up to be another exciting year for Cirrus Aircraft’s customers, partners and team members.”
