Lakeland, Fla., April 13th, 2026 – Piper Aircraft Inc. has selected SkyTech Aero as its authorized dealer for new aircraft sales and service coordination in the Northeastern United States. SkyTech’s sales and service territory includes the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. 

“As Piper continues to strengthen its global dealer network, we are pleased to welcome SkyTech Aero and its proven customer experience team to represent Piper in this strategically important region of North America,” said Ron Gunnarson, Piper’s Vice President of Sales, Marketing, Customer Support and Quality. “Following the former SkyTech, Inc.  ownership transition in the same region, it was a natural fit to continue our long-standing relationship with John Foster and other former Skytech, Inc. team members when they expressed interest in establishing a new Piper dedicated presence in the Northeast. Their passion for general aviation and for the Piper brand made it impossible for them to stay away from general aviation. We’re genuinely excited to continue this strategic alliance.”

“We’re proud to continue our long relationship with Piper in this new chapter,” said John Foster of SkyTech Aero. “Our team has always believed in the strength of the Piper’s product line and the dedication of the customers who fly them. We look forward to bringing that same commitment to pilots across the Northeast and helping grow Piper’s presence in this dynamic aviation community.”

SkyTech Aero, based in Rhode Island, has enhanced Piper Aircraft’s footprint across the Northeast by building a dedicated regional team and broadening its service network. The sales division is led by President Tony Sammartino, with support from Aircraft Sales Assistant Caden Eversole and a skilled administrative team. To provide reliable maintenance coverage for Piper owners throughout the region, SkyTech Aero has appointed Shoreline Aviation in Marshfield, Massachusetts, and Northeast Air in Portland, Maine, as approved Piper Service Centers. These alliances reinforce Piper’s commitment to providing exceptional service and support to aircraft owners throughout the Northeast.
