Troyes Aviation has been appointed the approved Piper service centre in France by authorised Piper dealer Flying Smart. Established at Troyes-Barberey airport in 1973 by Françoise Horiot and transferred to new ownership in 2023, Troyes Aviation is a fully-owned subsidiary of JGH SAS and the sister company of JG Aviation, the authorised Pilatus service centre for France.

"Flying Smart is proud to add Troyes Aviation to our established network of approved service centres, covering France," says dealer principal David Fabry. "With its convenient location and expertise, this will facilitate maintenance for the French Piper fleet from the Archer up to the new M700 Fury."

Over the past 50 years, the management of Troyes Aviation has committed to continuous innovation, maintaining the latest aircraft models, providing ongoing training for staff and leading operations in a dynamic, pragmatic and human-centred manner, always prioritising client satisfaction.

"We are excited to grow our worldwide service provider network with the addition of Troyes Aviation. Our goal is to provide customers and owners with an exceptional ownership experience, ensuring they have the technical support and expertise needed to maintain their aircraft," says Piper Aircraft VP of sales, marketing and customer support Ron Gunnarson. "We are always looking for ways to innovate and support customers around the globe, and are grateful to Flying Smart and David Fabry for forming this new service centre partnership."
