Duncan Aviation's Robert Suarez has earned recognition as a Certified Aircraft Sales Broker from the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA). He joins four other Duncan Aviation Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions Reps with this accreditation.

Duncan Aviation is pleased to announce that Robert Suarez has earned recognition as a Certified Aircraft Sales Broker from the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA).

Duncan Aviation was a founding member of IADA in 1991 when eight of the country's leading aircraft dealers came together to assure aircraft buyers and sellers upheld the highest level of ethics, experience, standards, and trust. Although just 7 per cent of the world's aircraft dealers have earned IADA accreditation, they are responsible for 40 per cent of the world's pre-owned sales. IADA Accredited Dealers buy and sell more aircraft by dollar volume than the rest of the world's dealers combined; averaging over 700 transactions and $6 Billion in volume per year.

IADA Certified Brokers have to pass a rigorous test and are verified by an independent firm. In addition, Accredited Dealers must engage in continuing education to pass a recertification process, ensuring that IADA dealers possess relevant industry knowledge and maintain their adherence to the IADA code of ethics.

"To be recognized as an IADA Certified Broker further reinforces Duncan Aviation's reputation in the Business Aviation industry—not just as a leading MRO provider, but also as a respected Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions dealer," Suarez said. "It's important that our clients know we are a founding member of IADA and that all of our brokers are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in the brokerage community."

He continued, "This certification test holds special meaning for me because it highlights the incredible teamwork behind every transaction. From our service sales representatives and OEM technical advisors to the technicians who work on a wide range of aircraft models, our internal flight department, legal and general counsel, and our accounting and credit teams—each plays a vital role. I feel truly fortunate to work alongside more than 3,000 dedicated Duncan Aviation colleagues, all united by a shared commitment to delivering exceptional results to both our new and long-standing clients."

Suarez joins Duncan Aviation's Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions team members Doug Roth, Ann Pollard, Rene Cardona, and Leah Alexander as IADA-Certified Aircraft Sales Brokers.

Suarez became a full-time Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions Sales Rep in early 2023. He earned his Private Pilot's License in 2019, is IFR Rated, and is working toward his Commercial and Seaplane Ratings.

Suarez is on the board for the Asian Community & Cultural Center (ACCC) in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is also on the board for the Capital Humane Society, a non-profit that advocates, serves, and unites the local community by providing resources and support for pet owners and displaced animals.

In his free time, Suarez enjoys spending time with his family, friends, and his Pitbull-cattle dog mix, Hazel. He also enjoys flying on the weekends, fishing, and working out.
