IATA grants SriLankan Airlines ISAGO registration
View(s):The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has awarded SriLankan Airlines the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) renewal Registration, following the successful completion of a comprehensive audit of ground-handling operations at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA).
SriLankan Airlines is the 158 ground handling company in the world to receive the mentioned registration. ISAGO is an audit programme for ground-handling companies serving airlines at airports.
ISAGO registration is an IATA programme that is modeled after the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), which assesses Ground service provider operational management and control systems.
ISAGO is built around a set of harmonized internationally recognised standards and accepted system for assessing the operational management and control systems of the Ground Service Provider.
IATA’s decision to award SriLankan Airlines renewal registration came after a comprehensive audit carried out by an IATA-licensed ISAGO audit team.
During the combined headquarters and station renewal audits, licensed auditors from Saudi Airlines carried out the ground operations audit at the BIA following almost 400 standards. This portion of the renewal audit involved headquarters and station management system, passenger and baggage handling, load control, aircraft handling and loading, aircraft ground movement, cargo and mail handling.
