International Sales Account For Nearly One-Fourth Of Total
It's another record for Cirrus Design. The Duluth-based
planemaker announced Monday a third quarter company record of 529
airplane orders, according to results from the General Aviation
Manufacturer's Association.
Cirrus credits the creation of a worldwide sales center network
for the record number of sales. International orders accounted for
24 percent of all business through October, up from 5 percent in
2002.
"Once again, our factory-direct to the consumer sales model has
proven itself, along with newly established international
partnerships that facilitate reassembly in the UK for European
sales and Australia for the Australasian markets," said Executive
Vice-President Sales and Marketing, John M. Bingham. "In 2005, we
anticipated a 26% increase in overall international sales and we
are on target to make and exceed that goal."
Citing GAMA's figures, Cirrus says it remains the market
category leader in high-performance, single-engine piston,
four-place airplanes. The Cirrus SR22 also maintains its place as
the world's best selling airplane for five years running.
"We are encouraged by these sales figures and further motivated
to continually develop technologies, features and programs that
expand customer satisfaction and provide greater accessibility to
our airplanes," said Cirrus President and COO David Coleal.
Cirrus' popular SR20 and SR22 composite airplanes incorporate
innovative advanced technologies into the design, including the
unique Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Cirrus also has a
direct sales force in North America with sales centers across South
America, Europe, China, Australasia, South Africa, Mexico, the
Caribbean, and Russia.
