Piper Aircraft is sending a senior group of sales executives to the Singapore Airshow, Feb. 14-19 at the Changi Exhibition Centre adjacent to the Changi Airport. Heading the company delegation from the company’s Vero Beach headquarters will be Piper Head of Global Sales and Business Development Drew McEwen.

 

Joining him from Piper’s Brunei sales offices will be Piper Director of Global Fleet Sales Chuck Glass, Director of Sales Asia Pacific Dana Cox and General Manager of Piper Asia Alex Omar; all are located at Piper’s Brunei sales offices. The group has achieved recent gains in selling aircraft into the Asia Pacific area and is anticipating more opportunities with the diverse economies of the region.

 

“We have seen the Piper fleet grow incrementally in the Pacific Rim just since the Singapore air show in 2010, and this is exemplified by our recent sales to a number of pilot training providers in the region,” McEwen said. “One in six new airplanes we build is being purchased by Pacific Rim countries and we would like to see these sales grow even more. That is the primary reason we are taking this opportunity to focus our sales presence in this important region at the Singapore Airshow.” Piper is exhibiting at Booth V63.
