IOSA 

Description

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) established the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Programme, now internationally recognised and accepted, as an evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. The aims of the IOSA programme are:

• To improve airline operational safety through the industry’s first globally accepted audit programme using internationally harmonised standards.
• To improve airline efficiency by eliminating redundant audits.

IOSA is based on industry-proven quality audit principles, and is designed to ensure that each audit is conducted in a standardised manner to achieve consistent results.
