After opening a temporary facility at the McKinney National Airport earlier this fall, Cirrus Aircraft is gearing up for a $9 million expansion.

The temporary facility offers maintenance, flight training and management for Cirrus Aircraft owners in the area at 1500 Industrial Blvd., McKinney. The more than 47,000-square-foot facility will expand Cirrus’ capacity of those services with space for aircraft storage, service hangars and a two-story office, according to documents filed with the state.

“Cirrus Services continues to transform the way we deliver factory-direct service and support,” said Todd Simmons, president of customer experience at Cirrus Aircraft, in a statement. “We recognize the importance of developing a world-class, comprehensive owner and operating experience, and our new location in McKinney, Texas, is the latest step in providing factory-direct support to our customers in the south-central area of the United States.”

The Cirrus McKinney Factory Direct Service Center is expected to break ground in the first quarter of 2022 and be completed by the first quarter of 2023. The new center will eventually bring more than 30 jobs to the area, a spokesperson said.
