Cirrus Aircraft has commenced the groundbreaking for its new facility at McKinney National airport in the Dallas Metroplex. The new construction will expand upon current Cirrus McKinney operations and provide additional space for aircraft sales, flight training, factory service and aircraft management.

“The Dallas Metroplex is a central location for many of our SR Series and Vision Jet owners,” says president of customer experience Todd Simmons. “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. We are proud to partner with the City of McKinney, McKinney Economic Development Corporation and McKinney National Airport and look forward to growing personal aviation in the Dallas Metroplex.”

Cirrus Aircraft plans to invest $13 million into the new 45,000 sq ft facility. The expansion will include a 15,000 sq ft service hangar, 15,000 sq ft storage hangar, eight shade canopies, a flight simulation space, retail store and a customer lounge with a panoramic viewing balcony.

Today, Cirrus McKinney employs more than 50 team members and plans to continue adding more career opportunities in the future.
