JIG Training Enhances Aviation Knowledge in Central Africa Republic

Our Central Africa Republic (CAR) branch recently conducted a critical JIG Training session which focused on enhancing the skills and knowledge of aviation personnel across the country. Led by senior JIG Inspector Julius Irimu Mvrigu from Kenya, the training brought together participants from SOCASP (KOLANGO) and various aviation depots, including peacekeeping mission staff.

The participants gained valuable insights into the critical practices surrounding Jet A1 operations, significantly upgrading their expertise in the field. This initiative would contribute positively to the development of the country’s aviation fuel industry that would ensure safer and more efficient operations moving forward. Such training sessions are vital for fostering growth and excellence in the aviation sector and for equipping staff with the skills needed to meet international standards, which will help in the growth of the Aviation Industry in CAR and attract more international airlines at Bangui M'Poko International Airport.

Tristar Group, which is a JIG member since 2019 and an IATA member since 2008, has been conducting annual JIG Training across all its aviation sites in Africa. The recent training covers the latest advancements in the aviation industry along with updates to JIG guidelines. A key component of the training session was the discussion on Bulletin 154 – AFQRJOS Checklist 35, which was recently issued by JIG superseding Issue 34.
