He said that the new certification had reaffirmed the
airline’s commitment to safety and set the tone for the aviation sector in
2020.
Olisa said that this development came on the heels of the
airline’s announcement of flight operations from Lagos to Ibadan, Kano and
Owerri.
The airline had set a record when it obtained its first IOSA
barely two years into its operations and was, subsequently, inducted as a
member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the airline, Mrs Toyin
Olajide, said that the certification was another feather added to Air Peace’s
cap.
According to her, it confirms the airline’s uncompromising
adherence to safety standards in line with global best practices.
“The exercise this time around was tougher than what
obtained in previous years.
“But, we scaled through the hurdles of every phase of the
certification process due to our unwavering drive to keep raising the bar in
our operations,” she said.
She also reassured the flying public of the airline’s
resolve to continue to comply with best safety standards and promised more
seamless connectivity and an expanded route network in 2020.
Olajide applauded the IATA for its efforts at ensuring that
stakeholders in the aviation sector globally comply with stipulated safety
standards.
She said that the airline would continue to blaze the trail
in Africa’s aviation landscape.
“Air Peace has attained an enviable position as West
Africa’s leading airline.
“It will continue to raise the bar in flight services by
ensuring 100 percent compliance with all safety codes as required by the
industry’s regulatory bodies,” she said.
Also, the Director of Audit Programmes at IATA, Catalin
Cotrut, congratulated Air Peace on the successful completion of the audit.
He implored the airline to always comply with the standard
reporting responsibilities in accordance with the IOSA Programme Manual (IPM)
Section 7.7.1.
IATA Operational Safety Audit Programme is an
internationally recognised and accepted system designed to evaluate the
operational management and control systems of airlines.
