Air Transat, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Transat A.T. Inc. that has been registered under the
International Air Transport Association’s IOSA (IATA
Operational Safety Audit) program since 2008, has
now become the first airline in the world to renew
its IOSA Registration based on the E-IOSA
methodology. This latest achievement follows a
stringent audit recently completed with success.
IOSA provides a standardized audit program for
airlines’ operational management and control
systems, based on internationally recognized
standards and supported by a rigorous quality
assurance process that aims at improving operations
and safety in the airline industry. The program
comprises more than 900 stringent standards that
contribute to airline operational safety in the
areas of management, safety and security of flight
operations, operational control, aircraft
engineering and maintenance, cabin operations,
ground handling and cargo operations.
In 2011, IATA added new elements to the program and
introduced E-IOSA, which involves ongoing internal
assessment processes, to provide enhanced value and
continuity of the audit process. At the request of
IATA, Air Transat participated in the development of
the new program, which will be mandatory for IATA
member companies from 2015.
“We are extremely proud to be the first airline in
the world to renew its IOSA Registration based on
the E-IOSA methodology,” said Jean-François Lemay,
General Manager of Air Transat, adding that “Air
Transat maintains its leadership in safety
management by meeting the highest international
safety and operational management standards”.
“We congratulate Air Transat for becoming the first
airline to complete the rigorous standards of the
Enhanced IOSA audit process. Their commitment to
support implementation of Enhanced IOSA is
commendable and paves the way for other airlines to
follow suit,” said Guenther Matschnigg, IATA’s
Senior Vice President, Safety and Flight Operations.
