Covers ALL Maintenance For 24 Months/600 Hours
A planemaker fond of comparing its planes to high-end
luxury automobiles just brought those two seemingly disparate
markets a little closer. Cirrus Design announced Tuesday the launch
of Cirrus Maintenance, a new "standard with purchase" benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance.
Similar in concept to free maintenance programs offered by such
automakers as Audi, BMW and Lexus, Cirrus says this is the first
time such a benefit has been offered in general aviation.
"We have looked long and hard at airplane ownership and we
believe Cirrus Maintenance is the next step toward easing the
customer experience and increasing customer utility," said Cirrus
Chairman and co-founder Alan Klapmeier. "As a leader and innovator
in general aviation, Cirrus felt the need to take this leap to get
more people flying airplanes and ultimately, grow the
industry."
Every Cirrus aircraft purchased directly from Cirrus in the US,
Canada or an international authorized designee, is covered by
Cirrus Maintenance. The full-service plan extends through 24 months
or 600 flight hours, whichever comes first. Cirrus Maintenance
covers new airplanes ordered and delivered since January 1,
2008.
The program covers factory-recommended maintenance... as well as
additional items that need replacement due to normal wear and
tear.
Cirrus Maintenance will allow the planemaker and its authorized
service network to take the initiative on aircraft service. It is
expected to positively impact aircraft reliability, safety and
resale value by ensuring regular and quality service... all while
minimizing customer cost and inconvenience.
"The Company has been working on Cirrus Maintenance for quite
some time," said Cirrus President and COO Brent Wouters. "This is
exciting for us as it is a fundamental change in the way Cirrus
does business. Cirrus Maintenance is our most significant long-term
commitment, operationally and financially, to making aircraft
ownership easier."
