Cirrus Next Lets Owners Trade in and Upgrade

Cirrus has deployed a new aircraft trade-in and upgrade program called Cirrus Next to help buyers and owners purchase a new SR series piston single or Vision Jet.

Owners of late-model SR series airplanes and all generations of Vision Jets can trade their airplane in for a new one, and the Cirrus Next program will help eliminate “the complexities of managing two aircraft at once or having a gap in aircraft ownership,” according to the company. The manufacturer-backed trade-in program offers a seamless experience for buyers and owners, Cirrus added, “complementing the authorized preowned network of Cirrus brokers.”

With Cirrus Next, existing Cirrus owners won’t have to experience any downtime; Cirrus will time transactions to ensure the buyer has an airplane to fly continuously. All airplanes in the Cirrus Next program are vetted by the company’s factory evaluation and refurbishment process, and each airplane includes a detailed service and inspection record.

“Cirrus Next eases the new aircraft upgrade process for SR series and Vision Jet owners,” said Cirrus CEO Zean Nielsen. “We are dedicated to simplifying aircraft ownership, and with Cirrus Next, we aim to complement new aircraft sales purchases and our network of brokers by removing barriers, uncertainty, and downtime oftentimes associated with the transition.”
