There are two safety auditing programmes in IATA:
- IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)
- IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO)
IOSA is the world's first airline safety audit programme based on internationally harmonised standards. The programme is designed to help airlines share audit resources and reduce the overall number of audits performed, but most importantly to improve the level of safety throughout the airline industry.
ISAGO was recently implemented and was designed similarly to the IOSA programme. The ISAGO programme aims to reduce costs and accidents on the ground while improving safety throughout the airline industry.
