Let’s be blunt. You’re not here because you need a certificate to operate. Aircraft brokerage isn’t regulated—yet. But that’s the exact reason the Aircraft Brokers Association (ABA) exists: to set the standard before someone else does it wrong.

ABA isn’t another cash-grab “academy” with flashy PDF certificates and zero substance. We’re here to clean up a messy, unfiltered, and sometimes downright shady industry by turning real professionals into certified, respected brokers who actually know what they’re doing.

Most of what you’ve probably seen online is garbage. Brokers repping aircraft they’ve never seen, never verified, with no contractual right to even list. Fake mandates. Endless broker chains. Photos stolen from past deals, pricing that’s inflated by five layers of markups, and aircraft that somehow get “sold” by ten different people simultaneously. Sound familiar?

Welcome.
