The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), based in Brussels, Belgium, has accepted IADA as a full voting member. EBAA is the leading organisation for operators of business aircraft in Europe.

“IADA's involvement in the affairs of EBAA is an extension of our members' global reach in aircraft sales transactions,” says IADA executive director Wayne Starling. “Several of our members are already active in EBAA and have recommended IADA organisational involvement as part of our focus on international business aviation activities.”

EBAA advocates for policies that better the European business aviation sector on behalf of more than 700 member companies. It represents corporate operators, commercial operators, manufacturers, airports and FBOs, with a total fleet of more than 1,000 aircraft.

Starling continues: “IADA and its accredited aircraft dealers and verified products and services members have long been active in the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in the United States. This expansion to European activities through EBAA is a natural fit for the organisation as our members extend their scope to transactions throughout the continent as a truly global group dedicated to making aircraft deals more efficient, ethical and transparent.”
