New members join the ranks of IADA
Three new business aviation products and services companies based in the US have been verified and accepted as products and services members by the International Aircraft Dealers Association.

The latest companies to join the growing ranks of IADA's verified products and services members are Elliott Aviation; Partners in Aviation; and Tamarack Aerospace.

“These three excellent companies, like all of our verified products and services members, have been thoroughly vetted to assure adherence to the highest standards of ethical behaviour and skilled aviation expertise," says IADA executive director Wayne Starling. "Elliott Aviation is the parent company of accredited IADA aircraft dealer member Elliott Jets, while Partners in Aviation and Tamarack Aerospace are new to the organisation, but certainly well known within the business aviation community.”

IADA Products and Services members are companies whose primary focus is related to the support of business aircraft and preowned aircraft transactions, whether their expertise is finance, legal, tax, escrow, marketing or maintenance.

Elliott Aviation is a diversified aviation services company with three Midwest locations in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Des Moines, Iowa; and Moline, Illinois. It is also the parent company for Atlanta-based MRO The Maintenance Group. It has been offering aircraft sales (as Elliott Jets), avionics service and installations, aircraft maintenance, accessory repair and overhaul, paint, interior, parts and aftermarket avionics for the past 85 years. The company is also a member of the Pinnacle Air Network, NBAA, NATA and GAMA.

Partners in Aviation (PIA) offers a structured co-ownership programme for operators flying 50-150 hours per year. PIA managed co-ownership matches two owners to one aircraft and pairs them to the appropriate aircraft manager. Owners fly their aircraft, on their schedule, at half the cost of traditional private aviation options. PIA also provides the legal structure which protects co-owners from the risks of do-it-yourself partnerships, and provides access comparable to sole ownership.

Tamarack Aerospace Group's aftermarket winglets deliver fuel savings, payload increase, significant range increase, outstanding climb performance, ride smoothing, increased structural life, and increased safety and stability. The Active Winglet technology increases a wing's aspect ratio without increasing the aircraft's structural weight, so the winglets are quick and easy to install. As well as headquarters in Sandpoint, Idaho, the company has centres in Aiken, South Carolina and Oxford, UK.
