OREANDA-NEWS. Cargolux Airlines International S.A. today announced that the airline has passed its third IOSA renewal audit with an outstanding score of zero findings. Cargolux went through the initial audit during October 2007.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. As a member of IATA, Cargolux, like any other IATA member airline, has to pass an initial IOSA audit and subsequent renewal audits every two years. This ensures a constant enhancement of aviation safety and is recognized by insurers and a number of aviation authorities.

‘We achieved this fantastic result due to the great efforts and endless commitment that the Cargolux staff has put into this IOSA renewal audit. They all gave their all,’ said Graham Hurst, Cargolux Vice President and Head of Quality Assurance.

During the five-day renewal audit from 3 June to 7 June 2013, five auditors audited Cargolux on about 850 different standards. In preparation for this, a Cargolux team of over 20 people from all concerned divisions worked closely together to achieve the exceptional result.
