Cirrus Aviation, based in Saarland, Germany, is adding a new Gulfstream G200 and a second Legacy 600 to its fleet, which will expand to include 17 aircraft. CEO Stefan Buschle noted that with a range of about 3,400 nm, the G200 can link city pairs like London and Dubai. As for the Legacy 600, Buschle pointed out that it has the largest stand-up cabin of its class with room for up to 13 passengers and can touch down at London City Airport, while its range allows non-stop flights to many destinations in the Middle East.
The company operates jets from Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault, Embraer and now, for the first time, from Gulfstream. It plans to acquire additional G550s and G150s next year.
Cirrus Aviation is the executive charter arm of the Cirrus Group, also active in regional scheduled air traffic in partnership with Lufthansa as well as maintenance and aircrew training. After its planned merger with DCA Aviation (formerly Daimler Chrysler Aviation), the Cirrus Group will operate more than 65 aircraft with a staff of 1,400.
