Cirrus Group, parent of Cirrus Airlines of Germany, says it has commissioned the conversion of a 32-seat passenger configured Dornier 328 to a 12-seat vip layout which will be completed by August. The aircraft will feature a large galley, on board satellite phone and a spacious toilet area with dressing room. It is the seventh Dornier 328 conversion carried out by 328 Support Services at its hangar facilities in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich.

Head of sales Ray Mosses says: "We are pleased that it will be the start of a wider relationship as Cirrus expands its charter activity." 328 Support Services is also working on a 10-seat vip conversion for an undisclosed European customer which will include long range fuel tanks. Four of the other conversions undertaken by 328 Support Services have been delivered to Mikado Capital.
