Cirrus Introduces ‘Cirrus Next’ Aircraft Trade-In and Upgrade Program

Cirrus has announced ‘Cirrus Next’ an aircraft trade-in and upgrade program designed to simplify the purchase of a new Cirrus aircraft. Cirrus Next ensures a streamlined upgrade pathway to a new aircraft, with a trade-in option for the aircraft you currently own or a transition aircraft purchased through the Cirrus Next program. Cirrus Next eliminates the complexities of managing two aircraft at once or having a gap in aircraft ownership. The program is available for late model SR Series aircraft and all generations of Vision Jets.

“Cirrus Next eases the new aircraft upgrade process for SR Series and Vision Jet owners,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus. “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.”

Cirrus Next is unique because it is a manufacturer-backed trade-in program with seamless trade-in support complementing the authorized pre-owned network of Cirrus brokers.
