Flying Colours Verified as IADA Products and Services Member

Flying Colours Corp., a global aviation services company with facilities in Canada, the USA and Singapore, has been verified as a Products and Services member of the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA).

The international company, headquartered in Canada, performs green completions, interior refurbishments and modifications, heavy maintenance, exterior paint, special mission modifications, and avionics installations for mid to large sized business aircraft. IADA Products and Services members are companies whose primary focus is related to the support of aircraft transactions, whether their expertise is finance, legal, tax, escrow, or maintenance.

“We extend a warm welcome to Flying Colours Corp. as an IADA Verified Products and Services member,” said IADA Executive Director Wayne Starling. “The company, which provides services internationally for a broad range of private aircraft, was thoroughly vetted to assure adherence to the absolute highest ethical standards and experience.”

“We are very pleased to join our colleagues at IADA,” said Flying Colours President and CEO John Gillespie. “Our involvement with IADA reflects the value and trust we place in doing business with the leading aircraft dealers, transaction professionals and experts within our industry.”

The membership application process for Products and Services membership begins with an applicant completing an application. As part of the application process, the candidate contacts three IADA members to ask for their support as a sponsor. The IADA membership votes on new Products and Services applicants twice a year.

Flying Colours specializes in all mid to large sized business aircraft.
