First Jet Deliveries Expected In 2014
It's no secret that Piper sees the PiperJet Altaire as the
natural next step for owners of their "M-Class" airplanes... the
Meridian, Mirage, and Matrix. The company announced Thursday that
brand loyalty can make that step up to the jet a bit less
expensive.

"Piper created the Altaire Advance program to make it easier for
our customers to move up to the PiperJet Altaire from any new
single-engine M-Class aircraft," says Piper Executive Vice
President Randy Groom. "Under Altaire Advance, Piper will discount
the purchase price of the Altaire or defer a portion of the initial
deposit required, depending on the new M-Class airplane being
purchased."
For new single-engine turboprop Meridian buyers, Piper offers
$100,000 off the $2.5 million base purchase price of the PiperJet
Altaire. Buyers of new pressurized single-engine piston Mirages get
$50,000 off the price of a new Altaire, while buyers of
unpressurized single-engine piston Matrixes can defer $25,000 of
the initial deposit of $75,000 on a new PiperJet Altaire.
Piper will escrow the initial deposit until first flight.
Subsequent deposits are tied to first flight of the PiperJet
Altaire conforming flight test article and nine months prior to
first delivery or type certification, Groom adds. For full details,
Groom encourages interested buyers to contact their Piper
dealer.
The PiperJet Altaire single-engine business jet is being
developed for certification and first deliveries in 2014.
