Africa World Airlines Secures IOSA, Presents Certificate To CAA
Africa World Airlines (AWA) secured the International Operational
Safety Audit (IOSA) Certification from the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) on March 16, 2016 following an intensive and rigorous
process. The certificate was presented by Mr. Raphael Kuuchi, Vice President
for Africa, IATA to Mr. Samuel Thompson, Chief Operations Officer of the
airline in Accra, Ghana. In the light of this achievement, the airline recently
embarked on a courtesy visit to the Ghana Civil Aviation Aut
hority (GCAA) to
officially present its certificate to the regulatory authority.
“By this certification, AWA became listed as an IOSA registered airline with IATA valid from May 1, 2015 to May 1,
2017. With the IOSA certification, customers can have comfort knowing that an
IOSA registered airline does comply with the stringent standards and practices
governing aviation safety. The IOSA registration also opens doors for alliances
and parternership with other IOSA registered airlines. It also puts AWA on the
map for good business opportunities,” said Samuel Thompson, Chief Executive
Officer of AWA. Receiving the certificate, Mr. Simon Allotey, Director General
of the GCAA, commended Africa World Airlines for maintaining high standards in
its operations in the country.
Africa World Airlines was audited from 27th April 2015
to 1st May 2015 and responded to all their findings. The IOSA certification audit is an internationally
recognised and accepted evaluation system designed to access the operational
management and control systems of an airline, with emphasis on universally
accepted best practices in the Airline Industry. IOSA uses internationally recognised audit principles
and is designed to conduct audits in a standardised and consistent manner.
