IADA Recognizes 16 More as Certified Aircraft Brokers

The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) has recognized 16 aircraft sales professionals with the Certified Aircraft Broker designation so far this year. Announced today, the additions to the IADA Certified Aircraft Broker list include 11 from North America, two from Latin America, and three from Europe.

These certified brokers bring the total number recognized under the IADA program to 233. To become an IADA Certified Aircraft Broker, sales professionals must demonstrate multifaceted expertise and ethical standards.

“Every aircraft transaction represents a significant financial decision, and buyers and sellers deserve to know they are working with professionals who have demonstrated both expertise and integrity,” said IADA executive director Lou Seno. “The IADA Certified Aircraft Broker designation gives clients confidence that their advisor has met rigorous industry standards and is committed to ongoing professional development. Combined with our Accredited Dealer program, certification creates a level of accountability and transparency that is unique in business aviation and helps ensure transactions are conducted with the highest degree of professionalism.”

IADA created the program to establish consistent standards among aircraft brokers and strengthen public confidence in the profession. To obtain the recognition, the broker must receive independent verification of knowledge, skills, and professional judgment through a structured examination process and ongoing professional development requirements. Only professionals employed by an IADA Accredited Dealer or approved OEM are eligible for the process.
