Piper and Piper Deutschland to display aircraft at AERO Friedrichshafen

 Piper Aircraft Inc. and Piper Generalvertretung Deutschland are collaborating to display aircraft at the upcoming AERO Friedrichshafen 2015, to be held April 15-19. On display will be a single-engine Piper Meridian turboprop, a twin-engine Piper Seneca V, and a Piper Archer DX.

“Year after year, AERO Friedrichshafen is where serious general aviation buyers congregate from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa,” said Drew McEwen, Piper Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The trade show on the shores of Lake Constance is a prime meeting place for the aviation community and the perfect venue to begin promoting Piper’s industry-leading products with powerful value propositions.

“We are appreciative that Piper Generalvertretung Deutschland, our German dealer, is partnering with Piper to have a strong presence at the show,” he said.
