Cirrus Aviation Services, the largest private aviation company in Nevada and one of the largest in the U.S., has opened operations at Dallas Love Field with select aircraft—including a Challenger 850 and Citation XLS—while providing clients in Texas access to Cirrus Aviation’s full fleet of more than 28 aircraft nationwide.
Cirrus, a family-founded and operated company since 2009, said this is the company’s first major expansion outside of its Las Vegas and Southern California region. The company marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the company’s executive team at its private hangar within Atlantic Aviation’s facility.
“Dallas is one of the fastest-growing private aviation markets in the country, and this expansion allows us to meet increasing demand while introducing travelers to the elevated service Cirrus is known for,” Eric Grilly, president of Cirrus Aviation Services, said in a statement. “We’re proud to bring a touch of Vegas hospitality to match Dallas’ Southern charm.”
Cirrus Aviation said it operates as a tenant within Atlantic Aviation at Dallas Love Field, maintaining its own private hangar and full-service operations while leveraging the convenience of Atlantic’s established FBO facilities.
“Since our founding in Las Vegas, we’ve built Cirrus by focusing on safety, service and value for our clients,” Greg Woods, co-founder and CEO of Cirrus Aviation Services, said in a statement. “Opening in Dallas is a natural next step in our growth, and we’re excited to be part of this dynamic market.”
Cirrus said the Dallas location will offer the company’s full suite of services including empty leg opportunities and 24/7 concierge services. It said that clients will have access to the company’s diverse fleet ranging from very light jets to heavy long-range aircraft capable of international travel.
