In a move to expand its awareness in greater China and Southeast Asia, the International Association of Aircraft Dealers (IADA) has joined the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA), which represents general and business aviation operators, aircraft manufacturers, aviation service providers, finance, and insurance providers in the region.

The action builds on the Boise, Idaho-based organization’s membership with NBAA, Canadian Business Aviation Association, and European Business Aviation Association. IADA joined the latter two organizations earlier this year, which is also marks the 30th year for the organization that represents aircraft brokers and related services providers.

“AsBAA provides a platform for communication and action relating to key issues including airports, safety, professional development, and the industry’s contribution to the Asian economy,” said IADA executive director Wayne Starling. “The IADA board is now deeply involved in the global industry’s affairs.”
