The Piper Malibu Meridian ”The Meridian is a perfect business aircraft if you wish to travel between destinations in e.g. Northern Europe, the Baltic States and Russia. It’s a safe and loyal partner - and helps you travel ’The Wellness Way’,” says Peter Høgsberg, Director of Air Alpha Russia. He explains: ”You get close to your destination (3000 airports in Europe serviced by your private aircraft, ed.), you have all the ‘routes’ you can think of, and you get to do business without doing the baggage check, which means skipping the queues…!” ”In addition, you get all the flexibility you can think of – you decide when, where, and how and you are able to work and relax while flying, you save time and get to have several meetings in one day, and not the least: You reach your destination in high spirits and get to sleep in your own bed! Now, you do the math!,” adds Hanne Fischer, Sales Manager in the Baltics.
