SWISS successfully passed the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and is now registered as IOSA Operator.SWISS is now among the 40 odd airlines which reached this internationally recognized standard, after a thorough evaluation in all areas of Operations, Safety and Security. The Registration Certificate is valid for two years.

The objective of the IOSA audit (IATA Operational Safety Audit) is to reach an internationally recognized and comparable standard in operation and safety management. The mutual recognition of IOSA audits prevents that for a codeshare partnership each airline has to audit their partner.

IATA accredited Audit Organizations perform the audits with specially trained auditors and according to internationally recognized procedures. The procedures comprise a checklist with 739 standards, split in eight sections, covering the areas of Corporate Organization & Management, Flight Operations, Operational Control & Flight Dispatch, Aircraft Engineering & Maintenance, Cabin Operations, Aircraft Ground Handling, Cargo Operations and Operational Security.

Manfred Brennwald, Chief Operations Officer: "We are proud to be registered as IOSA Operator. Several codeshare partners already advised us about their recognition of our IOSA audit and refrain from doing their own audits, which saves a lot of time and costs. „
