A key component of this partnership involves the establishment of a new facility located in the Southeastern region of the United States.

Over the past several years, ALSIM Simulators has experienced remarkable success, securing approximately 50 new customers in Canada and the United States since mid-2017. This continued growth and increasing market demand have prompted ALSIM to join forces with Cirrus Aviation to further promote their state-of-the-art flight training devices to both existing and potential customers, while ensuring exceptional customer service and support.

By establishing a US facility in partnership with Cirrus Aviation, ALSIM aims to provide unparalleled support, technical expertise, and enhanced services to customers throughout the continent. This collaborative effort will bolster the delivery of high-quality flight training solutions, cementing the combined strengths of ALSIM and Cirrus Aviation in the North American market.

“We are excited to announce this alliance with ALSIM,” said Nayda Cattin, Director of Cirrus Aviation in 2023. “This partnership is a natural fit that allows us to share the success of integrating these machines into the training environment in order to efficiently meet the growing demand for pilot training.”

“We are delighted to collaborate with Cirrus Aviation,” commented Jean-Paul Monnin, President and CEO of ALSIM in 2023. “This alliance will empower us to better serve our customers, provide comprehensive technical services, and expand our market presence in North America.”

The Cirrus Aviation and ALSIM alliance represents a shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. By leveraging their combined expertise and resources, both organizations are poised to shape the future of flight training and meet the evolving demands of the industry.
