DULUTH, MN -- Today Cirrus Aircraft announces CMX, a worldwide service program to manage and effectively control the costs of maintenance for 2009 Cirrus aircraft.
With purchase of a new Cirrus Aircraft, CMX is now available as a customer selected option. Cirrus assures that the cost of maintaining an airplane will be as forecast by Conklin and de Decker.
"Predictable ownership costs and Cirrus’ management of maintenance services removes a significant anxiety associated with aircraft ownership and operation," says Chairman Alan Klapmeier. "This is part of Cirrus’ continuing mission to broaden participation in general aviation – bringing more people, previously unfamiliar with owning an airplane, into the fold."
"CMX will give us insight into a customer’s view of maintenance and aircraft ownership in general," says Patrick Waddick, Executive Vice President of Operations. "At the end of the day it will allow us to bring more robust products to Cirrus customers."
CMX is purchased in 100-hour increments and is available for the first two or three years of ownership, depending on warranty period selected. Hourly charges range by aircraft model. CMX participants are assured exactly "average" scheduled maintenance costs of the airplane while in the CMX program.
All maintenance is performed within Cirrus‘ Worldwide Authorized Service Center network and CMX requires an initial registration and sign-up fee.
