Oriens Aviation, the authorised Pilatus and Tecnam aircraft distributor for the British Isles, returns to EBACE 2024 as the newest member of the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA).

Oriens became IADA's first OEM-authorised aircraft dealer member based in the British Isles and Europe last month. It joined IADA to broaden its network and bolster its used aircraft brokerage services, with aircraft transactions extending to pre-owned light business jets, alongside its mainstay Pilatus PC-12, PC-24 and Tecnam aircraft sales.

Oriens joins IADA following a banner year in which it was involved in over 20 new and pre-owned aircraft transactions, with interest remaining high in 2024. Both the Pilatus and Tecnam brands continue to grow in popularity within the British Isles while demand remains steady following unprecedented levels over the past few years.

Oriens will embark on its annual Pilatus PC-24 demonstration tour the week of 3 June to showcase its versatile and spacious cabin to interested buyers.

"IADA is highly respected for its dedication promoting fair and ethical practices in aircraft transactions, an ethos we share at Oriens Aviation," says sales director Sacha Demelo. "We are pleased to join this highly regarded international association alongside leading business aviation OEMs, aviation services businesses and established, independent aircraft traders."

"The IADA board of directors is delighted to welcome Oriens Aviation into our network of the most trusted pre-owned aircraft dealers in the world," says chairman Phil Winters. "Our entire group is looking forward to working with Oriens as we continue to broaden our global connections."
