Piper Aircraft Inc. and Winters Aviation, its authorized aircraft dealer in France and Belgium, will exhibit two top-of-the-line M-Class single-engine aircraft and a twin-engine Seneca V at the 7th Cannes International General Aviation Exhibition June 5-8 at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport (LFMD).

“Piper will be working with Winters Aviation, our dealer, at the air show on the French Riviera,” said Piper director of marketing and communications Jackie Carlon, who will represent Piper along with regional sales director- EMEA, Enrico Evers at the French event. “We are looking forward to visiting with prospective customers from across the south of Europe at the only general aviation exhibition in France.”

Piper will display a Piper Meridian turboprop and a pressurized piston-powered Piper Mirage at the exhibition. Piper's M-Class series aircraft have made a strong showing in Europe as Europeans buy more fuel-efficient business aircraft. The company and Winters will also show a Seneca V, a twin-engine piston-powered aircraft.

“As economic pressures increase, more French and European buyers are opting for selecting single-engine and new fuel-efficient aircraft to replace larger twin-engine airplanes,” said Peter Winters, general manager of Winters Aviation. “With Piper's wide-ranging product offerings, our customers can have cabin-class travel on a reduced budget.”
