Aero Access Network™
The network that opens the door.

A curated network of relationships

The Connector

Co-Founder, Aero Detailing Academy

John Silver is President of the Aero Access Network™ and Co-Founder of Aero Detailing Academy. With over two decades operating inside elite entertainment environments working alongside global artists including Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown, and Usher . Private jets were not a luxury for John. They were normal.

But even at that level, there was no clear path in as an operator. He went looking, found nothing, and then stepped onto the ramp. John has also run successful luxury transportation companies, giving him a deep understanding of high-standard client service and the operational discipline required in premium environments.

As President of the Aero Access Network™, John serves as the primary liaison between the entertainment industry and private aviation . Building and maintaining the real relationships that give graduates access to environments where the work already exists.

Angelo Correa is the Founder and Managing Member of International Aircraft Wholesalers, a global aviation brokerage with nearly two decades of relationships across the United States, Europe, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Africa. He is also the father of Aero Detailing Academy Founder and CEO Michaela Thompson.

Throughout his career, Angelo has worked directly with CEOs, high-net-worth individuals, and international buyers operating at the intersection of global finance and private aviation. He has been inside the rooms, on the tarmac, and at the table where aircraft change hands.

As official Referral Partner for Aero Detailing Academy, Angelo connects graduates with aircraft owners and operators inside his network — providing the kind of access that cannot be manufactured, only earned over time.
