The National Aircraft Resale Association is a professional trade
association made up of firms that specialize in aircraft sales and
brokerage. The Association was organized for the specific purpose
of promoting a consistently high set of ethical standards in buying
and selling business aircraft and to communicate those standards to
the marketplace. Over 80% of business aircraft sales are handled by
the broker/dealer network, and it is in the best interest of the
buyer and seller to seek representation through a broker or dealer
who meets the ethical and professional standards of NARA
membership.
