ULTIMAX AVIATION - EVERYTHING ABOUT HELICOPTERS

Founded and led by Aristide (Aris) Loumouamo in 2016, the company specialises in the maintenance of Airbus medium and heavy helicopters. These range from the AS350/H125 Squirrel to the recently imported H155 (which SA Flyer featured in June) and larger.

Aris has a solid grounding in Airbus Helicopters, having more than 20 years' experience as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer with Approved Maintenance Organisations in Cape Town, including eight years with Eurocopter. In addition to his specialized skill set, Aris and Caren Kok are well known for their friendly and approachable personality and are always available to solve customer problems.

The company is particularly proud of its staff's experience and skill levels which enables it to consistently deliver reliable results.
