PIPER PA 34 Seneca: a bit of history

The Piper PA 34 Seneca is a twin-engine light aircraft produced by the American company Piper Aircraft, primarily used for personal and business aviation. The aircraft is a popular choice among those wishing to charter a small aircraft for short-haul flights.

It appeared in 1960 and made its first flight in 1965. This model was certified on May 7, 1971 and was introduced in late 1971, with nearly 1,000 aircraft produced in the first three years. It became a commercial success. The aircraft is powered by a pair of Lycoming IO-360-C1E6 engines.

It has seen many upgrades over the years, such as the PA 34 200T Seneca II, the “T” designation coming from the introduction of the 200 hp Continental TSIO-360E turbocharged engines, which gave the Seneca better high-altitude performance. The last update to the aircraft was in 1996, with the arrival of the PA 34 220T Seneca V.

Advantages of the PIPER PA 34 Seneca

When you charter a Piper PA 34 Seneca, you benefit from unrivalled accessibility. Thanks to the aircraft’s compact size, you’ll be able to access smaller or more remote airports that can’t be reached by larger airliners. This is ideal when you’re trying to save time, as it avoids unnecessary air transfers. It’s also a huge advantage if you’re travelling for tourism or with children, minimising the time spent travelling. Whether you’re looking for a private flight from London to St Tropez to catch some rays or to hit the slopes at Lech, you’ll be at your hotel in no time!
