PlaneSmart!, a Dallas-based fractional company inked a deal with Cirrus Design on Tuesday to replace its fleet of Cirrus SR22 G2 models with new G3 aircraft. The deal was announced a couple of months ago but the paperwork was signed Tuesday. The new aircraft will have every option available on the G3, including air conditioning and turbonormalization that allows operations to 25,000 feet. The G3 was announced in April and has more than 700 design changes from the earlier models. All of PlaneSmart’s aircraft will be identically equipped for continuity and ease of operation.
“PlaneSmart! customers are excited about the arrival of their new and more capable aircraft” said Jeffery A. Cullen, PlaneSmart!’s President and co-founder. “In addition to the enhanced capabilities associated with the turbo-charged aircraft, the new airplanes offer the perfect combination of performance, navigation and safety features. Cirrus CEO Alan Klapmeier said the G3 is the right aircraft for PlaneSmart’s clients. “Their dedication to providing top-of-the-line products and services to customers though a fractional share program is impressive.”
