Fifteen Aircraft Will Be Used By Government-Run Flight Training Program
Piper Aircraft has recently delivered 12 single-engine and 3 multi-engine training aircraft to Sekolah Tinggi Penerbang Indonesia (STPI), the government flight school at Budiarto Airport in Curug, Indonesia, as the first part of a 20 single-engine Archer and 5 multi-engine Seneca V sale completed in December 2015. The sale and delivery was supported by Piper's regional dealer, Wings over Asia, headquartered in Singapore. STPI provides airline-oriented flight training under the auspices of the Ministry of Transportation for the Republic of Indonesia.
"The addition of these Archer and Seneca aircraft will enable Indonesia to train flight students with the highest level of technology available today and will further support STPI in its mission to train more students to meet the country's growing requirement for airline pilots," said Chuck Glass, Piper's Director of Sales.
Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world, with more than 255 million people. There are nearly 700 airports throughout its 17,000 archipelagic islands. The recently purchased Piper aircraft join an existing fleet of 18 Piper Warriors that STPI took delivery of in 2012. STPI will accept eight additional Archers and two more Seneca V's beginning in July 2016. The school offers private pilot, commercial pilot, instrument rating and multi-engine training, as well as degrees in aviation.
