Piper Aircraft will deliver the company's first M-Class single-engine pressurized Piper M500 to Poland.  The aircraft has been retail sold by JB Investments to a customer in that region who will operate the aircraft in support of his business. JB Investments is Piper's dealer for new aircraft, serving the country of Poland.

"The delivery of the first Piper M500 into Poland demonstrates the global demand for aircraft with uncompromised safety and underlying sound economics, as well as unparalleled performance," said Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott. "Reliable, single-engine Piper M-Class aircraft continue to outperform anything in the same class."

JB Investments President and Owner Jan Borowski said, "The Piper M500 is a large, cabin class, pressurized aircraft with club seating and the amenities of a much larger aircraft, while delivering the economies of a single-engine piston." JB Investments offers new aircraft sales, as well as servicevia its sister company, Aero Club Sp. z o.o. JB Investments is one of the largest private airbases in Poland, located 15km from Warsaw in the Konstancin-Jeziorna commune.

Currently, there are eleven PA-46 aircraft registered in Poland, six that have been delivered by JB Investments. This is the first aircraft of Meridian descent delivered into the country. The owner will take possession of the plane this week at an airbase just outside of Warsaw.
