“These future business aviation leaders are the best and brightest young people who will be joining the ranks of business aviation professionals in the near future. Best wishes to them and thank you to the IADA members who once again supported this worthwhile and rewarding program.”

Professional trade associations, IADA Business Aviation Scholarship program, was established for university students seeking a career in business aviation, specifically within the corporate aircraft sales and marketing, finance, legal, and insurance sectors.
