IADA sets sights on Europe with Brendan Lodge appointment

The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) has appointed Brendan Lodge as regional director for UK, EU and International Markets. 

Coinciding with the first day of EBACE25, Lodge becomes the first IADA staff member based in Europe. The association now has dedicated staff in the US, Canada and Europe.

Lodge brings more than 25 years of experience in aircraft sales, acquisitions, financing and valuation appraisal, along with a background in structured asset finance and private banking.

“The IADA Board of Directors is thrilled to welcome Brendan to the IADA leadership team,” said IADA chair Phil Winters, who also serves as VP Aircraft Sales & Charter Management for Greenwich AeroGroup and Western Aircraft. “His deep regional expertise and long-standing industry relationships will help us deliver even greater value to our UK, EU, and international members as we expand our footprint abroad.”

In his role, Lodge will work closely with IADA’s MD Erika Ingle and executive director Lou Seno. 

Key responsibilities include:

• Regional member support, providing direct support to existing IADA members in the UK and EU.
• Market development, identifying growth opportunities in Europe and other international markets and representing IADA at industry events.
• Programme implementation, including supporting delivery of member services internationally and gathering regional feedback to support improvement.
