Project Summary
Some national aviation authorities require Commercial Air Transport operators to undergo an IOSA Audit as a condition for renewing a new AOC. Some airlines who are not members of IATA are required to obtain an IOSA Registration in order to compete for a contract with another airline, for example to win an AMCI contract.

Whatever the need, the amount of work involved is enormous, even if you easily pass your routine AOC renewal inspections. Many approved audit-providing organizations are shown on IATA’s website. Airsource Partners has elected to partner with UK-based Aviation Info Tech to provide independent advice from the very start to support you when you most need it.

If this applies to you, your organization’s manuals, processes and procedures will not only require a deep inspection but also it is certain that they will require changing.
