Biman Bangladesh Airlines has successfully closed the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) for the 12th time and renewed the IOSA registration, which is valid until December 14, 2026, said a press release on Thursday.
The audit was conducted on September 1-5 by a 5-member team from the IATA accredited organization, Argos Pros, a USA company. The IOSA renewal audit is conducted every two years. IOSA is an internationally recognised evaluation system designed to assess an airline's operational management and control systems.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is an IATA member airline. To retain IATA membership, IOSA registration is also considered a prerequisite for code share agreements with other airlines, and in some countries, it is required to get a license for regular operation.
Dr Shafiqur Rahman, the Managing Director and CEO of Biman, emphasised that safety procedures and keeping abreast of the latest industry developments are part of our daily operational services. He expressed his pride by stating, "IOSA registration is considered an international recognition of operational safety, security, and compliance for the national flag carrier."
