US-Bangla Airlines has become the first private carrier of the country to get the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA).
US-based Argus Pros acted as the auditor for US-Bangla Airlines to receive the IOSA certificate, reads a media release.
The firm is one of the five audit firms worldwide designated by IATA.
To receive the IOSA certificate, the airline had to take into consideration the progress of all the indicators of a total of eight disciplines. The indicators include—flight operations, cabin safety, dispatch, maintenance, ground handling, cargo operations, security and organisation.
The airline had to also consider SMS (Safety Management System) and QMS (Quality Management System).
