IADA-Accredited Dealers
IADA-Accredited Dealers are the select few that have earned membership in the International Aircraft Dealers Association by meeting rigorous standards that ensure only the most respected and experienced dealers become IADA Members. Once granted initial IADA Accreditation, Dealers must be re-accredited every three years. This process enhances marketing value for the Dealer while providing customers with efficient, ethical and effective aircraft transactions.
IADA-Verified Products and Services Members
Products and Services Members are those companies whose primary focus is related to the support of aircraft transactions, whether their expertise is finance, legal, tax, escrow, or maintenance. The vetting process for IADA Products and Services membership begins with applicants obtaining sponsorship from three current IADA-Accredited Dealers, then prospective members complete an application. IADA third party consultant Joseph Allen obtains comments from the sponsors provided while other IADA-Accredited Dealers are also asked to provide comments on their experience with the applicant.
