El Al tops IATA safety program

International Air Transport Association gives Israeli airline world industry's strictest safety standard sigil for second consecutive time

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has named El Al the winner of the Operational Safety Audit program (IOSA), for the second year in a row.

 

IATA is the umbrella organization for international airlines. The group numbers 230 of the world's leading passenger and cargo airlines, and represents 93% of all international air traffic.

 

The IOSA program, which evaluates systems designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline, as well as its safety procedures, is considered the strictest of its kind.

 

"The IOSA is the strictest airline safety standard there is, and El Al is proud to be the first Israeli company to qualify for it, for the second consecutive year," said Captain Lior Yavor, vice president of operations at El-Al.
