Safety Auditing: the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)


IOSA is the world's first airline safety audit programme based on internationally harmonised standards. The programme is designed to help airlines share audit resources and reduce the overall number of audits performed, but most importantly to improve the level of safety throughout the airline industry.

IATA oversees the accreditation of audit and training organisations, ensures continuous development of the IOSA standards and recommended practices and manages the central database of IOSA audit reports. IATA also implements effective quality assurance to ensure overall programme standardization and ensures that the programme is meeting airline needs as effectively as possible.
