Seno Will Succeed Starling at IADA

The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) is pleased to announce that Louis C. Seno, Jr. will assume the role of Executive Director on Jan. 1, 2025, succeeding Wayne Starling, who has served in the position since Oct. 2018.

This leadership change follows a thorough and well-planned industry-wide search procesconducted by a special IADA search committee led by IADA Chair Phil Winters. The Mettis Group, a behavioral search firm, assisted in evaluating candidates with guidance from Starling and the IADA Board. The search committee worked diligently over the past year to select a successor who would continue IADA’s mission of promoting best practices and enhancing the standards within the business aircraft resale industry. Starling announced his intent to retire from IADA earlier this year, allowing ample time for a smooth transition.

“Wayne Starling was a superb IADA leader for over six years, growing and shaping the organization and enhancing its relevance within the global aviation industry,” said IADA’s Winters, who also serves as vice president of aircraft sales & charter management for Greenwich AeroGroup and Western Aircraft, Inc. “He was awarded the IADA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024, a fitting honor for his impact on the industry. We are confident that Lou Seno will carry on that tradition and make the association even greater in the years to come. His background and executive accomplishments are a perfect fit for the organization going forward.”

Under Starling’s leadership, IADA significantly expanded its influence, set new standards, and strengthened its position as a leading association in the aviation sector. He will continue to support the organization in a special advisory capacity to Seno through April 2025, providing guidance to ensure a seamless transition. The continuity offered by Starling’s advisory role will support Seno in building upon IADA’s accomplishments to date. Seno expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, saying, “I am honored to be taking the helm of such a dynamic and effective organization and am looking forward to working with Wayne on the transition. Together with the board and IADA members, I am committed to building on the strong foundation and leading IADA into its next chapter.”

Starling also shared his support for Seno’s appointment. “I, along with the search committee and the IADA board of directors, are confident that Lou Seno will be an active visionary leader capable of taking IADA to even greater heights. I wish the Board and all of IADA’s members the very best into the future.”  

Seno’s extensive industry experience positions him exceptionally well for his new position. In his capacity as Executive Director of IADA, he will serve on the organization’s Board of Directors. Seno is also chairman emeritus and a special advisor to the board of directors of Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI). His career includes executive roles at Boeing Capital Corporation’s business aircraft units and GE Capital Solutions, reflecting a longstanding commitment to the aviation industry.   Seno currently serves on the board of dDirectors of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). He also holds the position of chairman of the West Michigan Aviation Academy Foundation Board, serves on the Foundation Board of Daytona State College, and is a board member of the National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA). In addition, he has maintained a longstanding association with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he serves on the Industry Advisory Board for the College of Engineering.

Turtles Fly Too Dedicates Transport Mission to Support Stop Children’s Cancer Mission Honors Bonnie Freeman’s Legacy in the Fight Against Pediatric Cancer


Turtles Fly Too (TF2) says it has dedicated its upcoming transport mission to the
memory of Bonnie Freeman and the tireless work of her parents, Laurel and Howard Freeman, and her sister Carolyne Freeman, founders of Stop Children’s Cancer. The mission will involve the transport of 60 Kemp’s ridley sea turtles from the New England Aquarium to multiple locations in Florida.

Leslie Weinstein, President and CEO of Turtles Fly Too, has known the Freemans for 55 years and got to know their daughter, Bonnie, who passed away at the age of 12 from T-cell
leukemia. After being diagnosed at the age of 10, Bonnie said to her parents, “Let’s do
something so others do not have to go through what we are going through.” Her wish to help other children turned into a 43-year endeavor that has raised over $23 million for children’s cancer research at the University of Florida Health.

Dr. William Slayton, chief of the division of pediatric hematology/oncology at UF Health said, “The work they’ve done in Bonnie’s memory has really transformed our pediatric oncology program into a top program in the nation. By funding our research, they funded our clinical trials program, and having a strong clinical trials program is important. Through clinical trials the cure rates for the type of cancer Bonnie had have gone from less than 50% to over 90%.”

Dr. Slayton added that Stop Children’s Cancer “have also funded an endowed professorship
that’s been held by top notch pediatric cancer researchers.” Having this funding in place allows UF Health to bring in some of the best researchers, making it one of the top places for children to be treated.

Through Stop Children’s Cancer, the Freemans have funded the Bonnie R. Freeman Clinical
Trials, driving critical research breakthroughs that have improved cancer outcomes for children by more than 10%. One of the current trials is focused on a new drug that targets leukemia cells in infants, which could dramatically increase the cure rate for one of the most aggressive forms of childhood leukemia.

Due to a sudden drop in water temperatures, the New England Aquarium has recently
experienced an influx of cold-stunned sea turtles. Once capacity is reached, Turtles Fly Too is called upon to transport the turtles to marine medical facilities where they receive critical care and rehabilitation.

In recognition of their longstanding friendship and the Freemans’ unwavering commitment to childhood cancer research, Weinstein is dedicating TF2’s mission to Stop Children’s Cancer. “This is a small way for us to honor Bonnie’s memory and the incredible work her parents continue to do,” said Weinstein. “I am proud to dedicate this mission to them, knowing how much they’ve accomplished in Bonnie’s name.”

Laurel Freeman said that when her daughter got sick, Bonnie put all of her focus and attention into Stop Children’s Cancer. She helped with bake sales, went on T.V. for interviews, and while the other children were learning things like how to tell time, Bonnie wasn’t interested. “Bonnie didn’t learn to tell time, and I think she wasn’t interested or invested in it because she knew her time was limited. When she got sick, she was really a here and now person, she stayed in the present as much as possible.”

The mission details include a plea for volunteers for the following:

  • Transporting 60 Kemp’s ridley Sea Turtles from the New England Aquarium to various
    locations in Florida. Breakdowns below:
  • 15-20 going to The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, FL
  • 12 going to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, FL
  • 20 going to the Loggerhead Marine Center in Juno Beach, FL
  • 8 going to the Coastal Stewards in Boca Raton, FL
  • Pilot, aircraft and exact date pending. The mission needs to be completed week of
    December 9, so details TBD soon.

Nextant Aerospace First to Receive FAA Cert for Bombardier Global 5000/5500 Starlink Connectivity Kit

The engineering arm of Flexjet, Nextant Aerospace, has added the certification of the Bombardier Global 5000/5500 Starlink Inflight Connectivity STC Installation Kits to its growing list of approved STC kits. The system can now be installed via Starlink Authorized Dealers which include Bombardier Service Centers worldwide. This latest release adds to the rapidly growing portfolio of already approved certifications for some of the world’s most popular large cabin business jets including the Bombardier Global 7500, Global 6500/6000, Global Express, Global Express XRS, Gulfstream G650, G550, G450, and GIV aircraft.

Developed by SpaceX, the Starlink system enables passengers and crew onboard the aircraft to access high-speed internet that mirrors the best terrestrial-based connectivity solutions.

Unlike legacy technology, private jet passengers can for the first time expect an incredibly reliable, high-speed connectivity experience from the moment they step on board until the time they land regardless of the flight segment including long-range, over water legs.

“Reliable high speed internet connectivity for all phases of flight was one of the last significant technology challenges that our industry needed to solve for,” said Jay Heublein, president of Flexjet Global Maintenance and Product Support.  “We recognized early on that the technology developed by Starlink represented an evolutionary step forward for in-flight connectivity and as an industry, we could finally offer a solution that was consistent with the expectations our owners have. The feedback from every single person that experiences it has been nothing short of spectacular.”

Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency internet worldwide, utilizing an advanced constellation of more than 6,000 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. This state-of-the-art system ensures reliable connectivity over land, water, and remote areas. The system uses a phased-array antenna that has no moving parts and dramatically improves the overall reliability of the hardware compared with legacy technology that.

Certification efforts have now shifted to the super-mid and mid-size aircraft categories. Nextant plans to release installation kits for the Bombardier Challenger 3500, 350 and 300 as well as the Embraer Praetor series of aircraft in early the first quarter of 2025. They will immediately follow up with certified installation kits for the Embraer Phenom 300 and 100 series of aircraft by early Q2 of 2025.
