AircraftExchange, the International Aircraft Dealers Association’s (IADA) aircraft sales platform, has partnered with the Citation Jet Pilots (CJP) Association to provide direct access to preowned business jet listings. Under the partnership, CJP’s digital platforms will include a link to the AircraftExchange listings, providing insight into available Textron Aviation jets—namely Cessna Citations and Beechcraft Premiers—represented by IADA-accredited dealers.
In turn, the AircraftExchange platform will link to the CJP website, enabling prospective buyers to learn more about the owner-pilot organization that represents owners and operators of Citation and Premier twinjets.&nbsp; Founded in 2008, CJP has more than 1,300 members operating 900 aircraft globally.
“This partnership is a natural fit between two organizations committed to supporting informed aircraft ownership and operational excellence,” said IADA executive director Lou Seno. “Citation and Premier owners, pilots, and operators represent one of the most engaged and knowledgeable communities in business aviation. By connecting CJP members directly with AircraftExchange, we are providing access to the industry’s most trusted source of exclusively represented business aircraft listings.”
“CJP’s mission is centered on helping owners and pilots become safer, more informed operators through education, community, and direct access to industry expertise,” said CJP CEO Rob Balzano, who added that the partnership provides its members and prospective owners with a trusted marketplace. “This relationship strengthens the resources available to the Citation and Premier community while supporting transparency and professionalism throughout the aircraft acquisition process,” Balzano said.
All aircraft listed on AircraftExchange are represented by IADA dealers. The listings include aircraft specifications, detailed photos, ownership and maintenance information, dealer profiles, and interactive tools to help buyers to find aircraft suited to their operational requirements.
