The IOSA Program is a globally recognized program for its rigorous aviation safety audits.
IOSA is a global industry standard designed to assess an airline’s safety management system, quality assurance and operational management across all aspects of its aviation operations. Passing this most difficult assessment for any airline is a remarkable business achievement.
All IATA member airlines are required to undergo a biennial audit to ensure that they are operating in accordance with the highest civil aviation standards. This requirement is mandatory for all members.
