This Kenya Firm Fixes Grounded Jets Overnight | Aero Instrument | Aviation Africa | RIZIKI MERRIMENT
In this exclusive interview at Aviation Africa, Travel And Tour World sits down with Riziki Merriment, Safety Manager at Aero Instrument Service Limited, to discuss the company's aircraft component services and its role in East Africa's aviation industry. Key highlights from the interview: 1. Riziki Merriment introduces Aero Instruments as based in Wilson Airport, Building 37, and notes the company is approved by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, Ugandan Civil Aviation Authority, TCAA, and the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority. 2. He shares his positive impression of the summit, describing it as vibrant with a huge turnout and many walk-in inquiries, calling it one of the best events they've participated in. 3. He highlights their primary showcase product for the event, the Starter Generator used in the Q400 aircraft, emphasizing their minimal turnaround time to help operators avoid extended AOG (Aircraft on Ground) situations. 4. He stresses the key value proposition for their booth visitors, fast turnaround time, since being grounded creates cascading operational problems for airlines. 5. On summit goals, he shares they're looking to increase sales across departments, including paints, carpets, and starter and propeller services, encouraging clients at the expo to bring their starters to them given their East African regulatory approvals. 6. On future growth, he shares plans to expand their capabilities into Rwanda and other African countries. 7. On their contribution to the aviation industry, he explains their goal is to reduce the gap in East African aviation services, since components are often sent outside the region for core exchange, by offering a one-stop shop in Kenya with minimal turnaround time.
