Cirrus Aircraft on Thursday opened a new 60,000-square-foot warehousing center in Duluth, Minnesota, the manufacturer’s latest expansion as it looks to keep pace with the growth of its SR Series and Vision Jets.
Cirrus said the center will strengthen the company’s infrastructure and expand its operational capabilities and footprint, supporting parts storage, aircraft product development and innovation, and aftermarket services. It will consolidate multiple satellite warehouse locations into a centralized operation that will make receiving, storing, processing, and distributing parts more efficient, the manufacturer said.
In August, Cirrus expanded its manufacturing facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota—which produces components for the SR Series and Vision Jet—by 30,000 square feet. That site will also manufacture composites for the new, clean-sheet TRAC10 trainer, for which deliveries are planned in 2027.
Outside Duluth and Grand Forks, the manufacturer has locations in Greater Dallas; Greater Phoenix; Greater Orlando, Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Benton Harbor, Michigan.
“As our fleet continues to grow around the world, we are investing in the infrastructure and capabilities needed to support our aircraft and owners throughout the ownership experience,” said Zean Nielsen, CEO of Cirrus, in a news release. “The Cirrus Warehousing Center gives our teams greater capacity and efficiency while supporting our production goals, continued innovation, and growing upgrades and accessories business.”
Cirrus Keeps Pace With Growth
Cirrus aims to grow its operational capabilities in tandem with its global fleet of SR Series and Vision Jets, including the new, Garmin Autoland-equipped G7+ and G3.
The manufacturer in 2025 delivered 691 SR Series aircraft and a record-breaking 106 Vision Jets, delivering more general aviation aircraft than any other firm. The SR Series became the best-selling high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft for 24 consecutive years, and the Vision Jet became the best-selling GA jet for eight years in a row.
For the first half of 2026, Cirrus reported higher deliveries and revenue. In August, it said its backlog topped 1,000 aircraft.
To date, worldwide flight time on Cirrus aircraft is over 19 million hours, the company said Thursday.
The manufacturer is well-known for its Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), the first FAA-certified, whole-airframe parachute safety system included as standard equipment on an aircraft.
