American leading single-engine aircraft manufacturer Cirrus Aircraft last week had an opportunity to showcase its products (Cirrus SR 22 and Cirrus SF50) in the Kenyan market through the association even as it seeks to license its models to fly in Kenyan airspace.
Speaking to Kenya Association of Air Operators (KAAO) members during a cocktaiil event held at the East Africa Aero Club in Nairobi David Moser Vice President – Fleet and Special Mission Aircraft at Cirrus Aircraft said he was confident that the company’s products would attract the attention of the market players especially due to the aircrafts’ safety and fuel economy record. According to Cirrus Kenya has been identified Kenya as a potential market for its products due to its thriving tourism industry and Nairobi hosting numerous multinational companies and corporations.
David Moser Vice President – Fleet and Special Mission Aircraft at Cirrus Aircraft commented:
“While globally Cirrrus remains one of the most recognized aircraft manufacturers, with over half the market share in private aircraft, the company has yet to establish its dominance in the African market except in South Africa. We recognize Kenya as a leading aviation market within the region and we are interested to play an increased role here and the region as a whole.”
