Taking MRO to New Heights Aeromni Aerospace has succeeded in offering a remarkably broad scope of MRO services for 10 years, and it only hopes to grow its capabilities list from here. story By Dayna Fedy // Photos by Charlie Vowles Now entering its 10 th year of operation, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider Aeromni Aerospace offers an unusual- ly broad range of services. Located near the Langley Regional Airport in British Columbia, the facility is a one-stop-shop that handles almost every MRO need for fixed- and rotary-wing operators. The company works on airframes, instruments, avionics and accessories across a spectrum of manufacturers including Bell, Sikorsky and Airbus Helicopters, and also offers parts/helicopter sales across the globe. “We can basically take an aircraft and refinish the whole thing from top to bottom. . . . We can overhaul and repair almost 92 Vertical magazine 2 1 everything,” said Rikkert Vos, Aeromni Aerospace’s vice presi- dent, adding that the only thing the company has not yet tapped into is the business of engine and dynamic component over- hauls. “I believe in Canada we’re the only [MRO facility] that has this range of scope.” The company was founded by Wei Lin (who today serves as Aeromni’s president), having 23 years in the aviation industry and a degree in electronics engineering. Aeromni didn’t expand into the maintenance side of the busi- ness until Vos, with 21 years in aviation, joined the company in 2013. Together, Lin and Vos opened a facility in Langley, and Aeromni Aerospace grew. Starting out as a one-man operation in 2008, the company now has over 10 employees who allow the business to smoothly cover its broad workload. While it has a wide Canadian customer base, the company has expanded into the overseas market and recently opened a loca- tion in Australia serving Asia-Pacific.
