Oriens Aviation Joins Cirrus Aircraft’s Network of Authorized Service Centers

Oriens Aviation is pleased to announce it is now able to offer third party maintenance and repair overhaul (MRO) work on the Cirrus SR family of single-engine piston aircraft.  It is expanding its presence at its London Biggin Hill Airport HQ to accommodate the type, which has become increasingly popular in Europe with first time owners. 

At AERO Friedrichshafen, Germany in April, Cirrus highlighted nearly 40% of buyers of the SR2X series in 2021 were new to aviation and 25% of SR orders were outside the US, prompting the manufacturer to open a regional operations office in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.   Oriens Aviation offers an attractive South East London MRO location, complementing existing UK providers in Guernsey, Gloucestershire and Leeds.

Stuart Locke, General Manager Oriens Aviation, with engineers and Cirrus Aircraft

A number of Oriens engineers completed their factory training on the SR in readiness to support the SR2X.  Oriens’ General Manager for Maintenance, Stuart Locke, will oversee technicians and engineers on the type, as well as committing further investment to equipment and tooling.  The business is currently recruiting additional B1/B2 engineers.
