U
nited States aerospace giant Boeing announced on Friday the appointment of Zaid Alami as the country managing director for PT Boeing Indonesia, effective immediately.
Alami is based in Jakarta and serves as Boeing’s senior executive in Indonesia, leading the aircraft manufacturer’s operations and growth strategy in Indonesia and reports to Alexander Feldman, Boeing Southeast Asia president, the aircraft maker said in a press release.
“Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, and soon to be the world’s fourth-largest aviation market is critical to Boeing. We are excited to have Zaid lead Boeing’s operations in Indonesia and advance our 73 years of relationship in the country,” said Feldman.
“I cannot think of a better individual than Zaid, who brings a wealth of aerospace engineering expertise and significant experience working with our Indonesian customers to drive Boeing’s growth in the country.”
Alami most recently served as the leader of Boeing’s Global Support Center in Jakarta, which provides enhanced product and strategic engineering support to Southeast Asia’s growing commercial aviation industry.
Previously, Alami was an experimental flight test engineer and led the support for multiple customers with the introduction of the 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX into their fleets globally.
“Indonesia is a country of strategic importance for Boeing across our commercial airplanes, defense and services businesses,” said Alami.
