Business aviation support services firm ACASS has been accredited by aircraft dealer association the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA). The accreditation makes ACASS one of only three per cent of aircraft dealers worldwide to have passed IADA's stringent accreditation procedures. IADA accreditation utilises a quantifiable, measurable structure administered by an independent third party to ensure professional and ethical behaviour within the industry.

“We are delighted to be a part of this world class professional organisation,” says ACASS CEO Andre Khury. “Connecting with other IADA members to ensure the highest standards of service and conduct will only help us better serve our global clientele.”

IADA president and CEO Brian Proctor adds: “Our standards for accreditation are, admittedly, very high. This is imperative for aircraft buyers and sellers to have complete assurance in the dealers and brokers we certify. I am happy to say, ACASS epitomises the professionalism and integrity that merit IADA membership.”

IADA is a professional trade association formed more than 25 years ago. Promoting the growth and public understanding of the aircraft resale industry, it now offers one of the world's only accreditation programmes for dealers and the only certification programme for individual brokers. The process delivers high standards of business conduct and transparency regarding aircraft transactions, leading to a more efficient and reliable marketplace.

Formed in 1991 as The National Aircraft Resale Association (NARA), when eight of America's leading aircraft dealers came together to assure aircraft buyers and sellers of the highest level of ethics, experience, standards and trust, the organisation has grown to be a worldwide association of more than 100 aircraft dealers, brokers and business aviation product and service companies that do business in more than 100 countries.

In 2018, NARA officially changed its name to IADA to reflect its global presence. Although only three per cent of all aircraft dealers have earned an IADA membership, these dealers are involved with at least 60 per cent of all pre-owned aircraft sales globally.

ACASS is a Montreal-based worldwide provider of customised support services for business aviation. For over 25 years, it has empowered leaders with expertise and top class services, including aircraft sales and acquisition, aircraft management and flight crew staffing.
