“We are very pleased we joined GLADA and found the network to be both welcoming and proactive.  The GLADA membership has been proven to be a very beneficial resource for our business and is the ideal platform to connect with our industry partners around the world.  The networking GLADA offers to its members, both in person and virtual, as well as the sharing of industry updates and information has been a tremendous value”.

“MaceAero since being a member of GLADA has introduced us to many more brokers worldwide and especially in the US.  Being based in the UK and mainly working the European Sales market, being part of GLADA has enabled new connections to get deals done.  The GLADA SLACK app presents us with other members pre-market release inventory and off market aircraft opportunities leading to valuable early insights only seen as members.  Further connections into other areas of our industry such as parts, MRO’s and charter also bring connectivity and opportunities.  We are proud to be part of the GLADA family.”

"Like everyone else, I’m busy and only have so much time to allocate to other endeavors outside our core business of buying and selling aircraft; so for me to become involved in GLADA it needed to prove itself beneficial in practical ways. I have found that the confidential sharing of aircraft on the GLADA online platform and the relationships formed among the members are well worth the minimal cost to join. As the aircraft brokerage business has evolved and technology has made us all more efficient, I’ve often wondered whether a reliance on online searches and mass emails has come at the cost of depersonalizing the whole process in a way that has actually hurt the industry. GLADA membership facilitates personal interactions among its membership and helps to cultivate the trusted relationships which have always been the basis for putting deals together, and are so important in this challenging Market."

I wanted to share how valuable our GLADA membership has already been for Howarth Aviation.

Shortly after joining at the start of June, we received an inquiry on an aircraft we had listed.The buyer, based in the U.S., was nervous about purchasing an aircraft located in Africa What ultimately gave him the confidence to proceed was our GLADA membership. He reached out directly to GLADA to verify our membership and request professional references. That third-party reassurance was critical in helping him move forward with the purchase.

Without that credibility, it's very unlikely the transaction would have gone ahead. This experience clearly shows the value of being part of a vetted, global network that promotes trust and professionalism in our industry.

Thanks again to you and the GLADA team for building something that truly adds value.

"We enjoy being a part of a community which not only helps one another generate deals but also to learn from one another's experiences and provide local intel on markets/customers that otherwise would be difficult to find. Having regular email and zoom meeting exchanges also helps us be aware of the important updates in the industry and most importantly having a trusted circle of broker partners who help source "off-market aircraft" or buyers looking for "off-market aircraft." We are happy to be a member of GLADA."

"We've had great results with the Alert system over the past year, especially now that new planes to market move very quickly. We received three good leads before they hit the market so far this year from Alerts."

“GLADA brings us quick and easy access to trusted brokers and provides us a great opportunity to market our inventory and current developments. We are thankful to be a part of this community.”

“GLADA has been wonderful. The community is supportive, and shares knowledge. Also great as everyone openly communicates about: off-market a/c inventory, a/c coming to market, any emerging mx trends/issues, and where parts may be available that are tough to locate.”

I’ve found my membership with Global Aircraft Dealers Association to be an excellent value and a perfect fit for a small company like mine. The organization provides meaningful resources, strong industry insight, and—most importantly—a high-quality network of professionals who are genuinely engaged and supportive.

As our industry continues to evolve, I believe we’ll see more independent and small firms entering the space, and GLADA is well positioned to grow alongside that trend. It creates an environment where smaller operators can connect, collaborate, and compete at a higher level.

From a business standpoint, I’ve more than achieved a return on my investment. The relationships and opportunities that have come through this network have made a measurable impact. I would strongly recommend GLADA to anyone in the aircraft brokerage or dealership space looking to expand their reach and credibility.
