International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) members in need of a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) can now access scheduling and pricing for their inspection in the IADA broker portal thanks to a further integration with Alpha Wingman.

Dealer brokers can now request PPI pricing and scheduling from multiple MROs — first IADA Verified Member providers and then others within the Alpha network — directly from their existing workflow, with status updates tracked automatically throughout the process.

“The ability for IADA dealer brokers to request PPI inspections directly from their Broker Portal has streamlined communication and efficiency for everyone involved,” said Andy Nixon, president of Alpha Wingman. “The platform allows brokers and interested parties to quickly see MRO schedule availability, without multiple calls and emails.”

The first pricing requests and MRO responses are already flowing through the system, according to Nixon.

Lou Seno, executive director of IADA, added: “Integrating Alpha Wingman directly into the Broker Portal connects our dealers to trusted service providers without friction — exactly the kind of resource we are committed to building for our members.”

The announcement builds upon a partnership formed in May 2024, back when Alpha Wingman was known as MRO Insider — it rebranded in June 2024. IADA initially sought out Alpha Wingman to enhance the functionality of its broker portal.

Speaking at the time,  IADA’s former executive director Wayne Starling said: “The collaboration between IADA members and MRO Insider will reduce the time spent sourcing PPI slots while the service providers gain business volume for inspections.”
