Air Niugini passes audit with flying colours

Air Niugini has passed the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) operational safety audit (IOSA), which gives the airline validation for two years.

It was the first time Air Niugini has been audited on enhanced IOSA requirements. The program enables airlines to review their safety processes using an internationally accepted worldwide standard.

Accredited auditors assessed Air Niugini’s operational management and control systems, including flight operations and dispatch, aircraft engineering and maintenance, and security.

Air Niugini ’s chief executive officer, Simon Foo, says the achievement provides continued assurance that Air Niugini meets world-class safety and security standards when measured against IATA’s global benchmark.

“At Air Niugini, safety is always our highest priority. It is expressed in everything we do and we are pleased to be one of the few airlines audited under the IOSA program since 2011, and we remain very proud of maintaining our unblemished safety record.”
