NAFA membership provides access to resources, networking and educational opportunities throughout the year. Its latest member is Canadian helicopter sales and acquisitions company Aero Asset.

Canadian helicopter sales and acquisitions company Aero Asset has recently joined the National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA) professional network of aviation lenders. “NAFA members form a network of aviation finance services who diligently and competently operate with integrity and objectivity throughout the world. We're excited to welcome Aero Asset to our growing organisation as we head to our 50th anniversary,” says president Jim Blessing.

Aero Asset is an international helicopter sales brokerage with decades of aircraft trading expertise. The company was founded by well-established aircraft sales professionals Emmanuel Dupuy, William Sturm and Valerie Pereira who between them have more than 70 years of experience.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, the company promotes its knowledge of helicopter markets by releasing the Preowned Helicopter Market Trends every quarter. This in depth market report ranks preowned twin engine markets by liquidity, tracks trading values and breaks down sales and supply over the quarter and year on year.

Aero Asset applies big brokerage business practices with a customer-first approach to helicopter sales. Much like NAFA, Aero Asset is passionate about aviation and promoting accurate information for fair and safe transactions. Aero Asset and NAFA are dedicated to the aviation industry and its evolution, setting the highest standards for service and expertise throughout.

NAFA is a non-profit corporation dedicated to promoting the general welfare of individuals and organisations providing aircraft financing and loans secured by aircraft, improving the industry's service to the public, and to providing members with a forum for education and the sharing of information and knowledge to encourage the financing, leasing and insuring of general aviation aircraft.
