Cirrus Aircraft has rolled out the VisionAir program to provide participating Vision Jet owners with pilot, maintenance, and other aircraft management services. The program, unveiled as Cirrus last month handed over the 200th Vision Jet and as new travelers look to step into private aviation, is designed as a turnkey program to provide participants “everything needed to own, operate, and manage” the single-engine jet, the company said.

“Our mission is to make personal aviation more accessible,” said Cirrus Aircraft CEO Zean Nielsen. “Now, more than ever, people are looking for alternative ways to travel, with the added assurance of safety and privacy. We are excited to provide a direct pathway to complete ownership that allows our customers to enjoy all of the benefits of personal aviation while we take care of the details.”

VisionAir includes an on-demand professional pilot, concierge services, complete maintenance coverage, aircraft management oversight, and storage. In addition, participants can receive options for insurance coverage options and professional tax advice referrals.

Certified in 2016, the $2 million Vision Jet created a new category in aviation as a personal jet single, bringing new owners into the jet market. Cirrus last year began delivery of the updated G2 variant, which came with the Perspective Touch+ by Garmin flight deck, and announced the addition of Safe Return emergency autoland system.
