Flight Safety

Air Astana has successfully passed the International Air Transport Association’s IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) for the sixth time, confirming it is fully compliant with international safety standards. Air Astana first passed the audit in 2007, and since then has been certified every two years, in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. The next audit is planned for 2019. The IATA Operational Safety Audit is the benchmark of global safety management for airlines, designed to assess operational management and control systems. During the last audit, documentation and implementation of nearly 1,000 IOSA standards were verified on every aspect of the airline’s activities. They include corporate systems of organisation and management, flight operations, operational control and flight dispatch, engineering and maintenance, cabin operations, ground handling, cargo operation and security.
