VanAllen joins IADA as accredited aircraft dealer
IADA accreditation places the company within a global dealer network, supporting its client-focused approach to aircraft buying and selling.
“We are honoured to be accredited by IADA, an organisation synonymous with excellence and integrity in aircraft sales,” says Jeff Agur, CEO of VanAllen.

VanAllen has been accepted as an accredited dealer by the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA), placing the Peachtree City-based firm within a global network of preowned aircraft specialists.

The accreditation confirms compliance with IADA’s standards for ethical conduct, transparency and professional practice across aircraft sales, acquisitions and client representation.

VanAllen advises individual and corporate clients across the aircraft transaction lifecycle, providing market intelligence, deal structuring and execution support.

The firm’s brokerage activity spans aircraft sourcing, competitive offer structuring and sales campaign management, alongside integrated aviation consulting aligned with wider operational and financial objectives.

The development follows VanAllen’s acquisition of Essex Aviation, extending its service capability and market reach within business aviation.

“IADA is delighted to welcome VanAllen to our distinguished roster of accredited dealers,” says Lou Seno, executive director of IADA. “VanAllen's deep industry experience and client-focused approach align with IADA's mission to elevate the standards of professionalism and integrity in aircraft resale.”
