Garuda Indonesia Achieves “IOSA Registration”

Garuda has successfully completed the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and has been added to the IOSA Registry.

The IOSA programme is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess airlines’ operational management and control systems. IOSA uses internationally recognized quality audit principles, where audits are conducted in a standardized and consistent manner. The programme is designed to maximize quality, integrity and safety, so that mutually interested airlines and regulators can all benefit from using IOSA audit reports. As a result, the industry is in a position to achieve the benefits of cost-efficiency and improved safety through a significant reduction of redundant audits.

IOSA is the first global standard to include 8 major aspects of an airline’s ability to deliver a safe operation : organization & management, flight operations, operational control and flight dispatch, aircraft engineering and maintenance, cabin operations, aircraft ground handling, cargo operations, and operational security. These 8 sections comprise more than 900 standards that an airline is audited to, and in order to achieve IOSA Registration, the airline must satisfy them all.

The IOSA programme has been recognized by IATA member airlines and continues to gain industry – wide acceptance as a standard and recommended practice for airline safety and quality.

The President & CEO Garuda , Emirsyah Satar explained that receiving the IOSA Registration is testimony of Garuda ’s commitment towards safety. He added that he hoped the achievement would gain some recognition from the European Commission, which has put in place a blanket ban on Indonesian airline operations to Europe .

At present, 202 airlines worldwide have been registered as an IOSA operator considering that from June 2006, IOSA became a condition for IATA membership; over 90% of all international scheduled passenger traffic is conducted on IOSA Registered airlines. IATA members must maintain their IOSA Registered in order to achieve or retain IATA Membership. This demonstrates the commitment of IATA Members to safety and makes IATA membership a mark of quality.

Garuda is proud to be a part of this group of airlines. We hope that our customers will appreciate Garuda ’s commitment to safety and quality.
