Базировавшаяся в британском Плимуте "Air Care" была одной из множества небольших авиакомпаний, посчитавших Navajo экономически выгодным и надежным приобретением. В конце 1990-х годов она эксплуатировала три самолета этого семейства, включая этот Navajo B с дополнительными багажными отсеками в удлиненных мотогондолах.

Самолеты семейства PA-31 служили у военных операторов по всему миру. В испанских ВВС PA-31P, получивший обозначение E.18, использовался в качестве легкой связной машины. Возможно, и сегодня несколько Navajo продолжают нести военную службу.

Семейство PA-31T и PA-42 Cheyenne. Оснащение PA-31P Pressurised Navajo ТВД Pratt & Whitney PT6A позволило "Piper" получить самолет, способный конкурировать с Beech King Air. Первый вариант (на снимке), взлетевший в 1969 году, получил обозначение PA-31T Cheyenne (позднее измененное на Cheyenne II) и выпускался в стандартном и удлиненном вариантах. В дальнейшем был создан вариант с Т-образным оперением PA-42 Cheyenne III, к началу поставок в 1984 году переименованный в Cheyenne 400LS.

Navajo Chieftain был самым удачным в семействе Navajo - было построено 1942 самолета этого типа, большинство из них на специально сооруженном заводе а Лейкленде, Флорида.

PA-31P-350 Mojave. В 1982 году "Piper" начала разработку преемника Pressurized Navajo. Носивший обозначение PA-31P-350 Mojave, он получил фюзеляж от PA-31T Cheyenne (турбовинтового варианта PA-31P), двигатели и оперение от PA-31-350 Chieftain. Крыло также позаимствовали у Chieftain, правда, усилив конструкцию и увеличив размах. Выпускался Mojave недолго, до 26 июня 1984 года, когда был построен 50-й самолет.
