2026 Guide: The Secrets Behind Dry Leasing & Wet Leasing
Understanding a common term and the common misconceptions surrounding it.
Fast, Easy and Responsive. We Understand Aircraft Financing.
For over eight decades, Piper Aircraft has been a cornerstone of general aviation. From the legendary Cherokee and modern Archer TX that train the world's commercial pilots, to the heavy-hauling Saratoga and the highly advanced pressurized M-Class series, Piper delivers exceptional cross-country performance, reliability, and cabin comfort.
Properly structuring capital for a Piper requires a deep understanding of the airframe's lifecycle and technological advancements. At Flying Finance, we recognize the enduring residual values of the legacy PA-28 and PA-32 fleets, the specific operational economics of commercial flight academies, and the immense value of the HALO Safety System and PT6A powerplants found in the modern M500 and M600/SLS turboprops.
Whether you are a university flight program financing a fleet of Seminoles, a private owner upgrading to the pressurized cabin of an M350, or a corporate operator stepping into an M600, our dedicated Piper financing programs deliver competitive rates, rapid underwriting, and capital structures specifically tailored to your mission.
