Where will Piper land next?

Asked if he has his house on the market as Piper grapples with the decision on whether to stay in Vero Beach, Fla., or move the entire company to Albuquerque, N.M., or Oklahoma City, Piper Aircraft president and CEO Jim Bass said, “No, I don’t,” and added, “We have no agenda or plan to leave Vero Beach. We have to see if it’s in Piper’s long-term best interest to move.”

Meanwhile, development of the PiperJet continues, and Piper announced that it has selected Garmin International’s G1000 avionics suite for the single-engine jet. Piper did evaluate systems offered by other manufacturers, but Garmin proved to offer “the best in technology, reliability and features,” said Bass.
