As the first ever airline from Bangladesh to do so, Air Astra has begun its preparations to undergo the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) before commencement of commercial operations. On Monday, the airline started the 5-day IOSA Airline Auditor Training at its own training center in Dhaka.
Among the 17 participants at the training are Mr. Imran Asif (CEO & Accountable Manager), Capt. Farhat Jamil (Head of Flight Operations & Training), Ghazi Mahmud Iqbal (Head of Engineering/CAMO), Md. Shafiqul Alam (Head of Quality Assurance), Mr. Zafor Uzzaman (Head of Ground Operations & DGR), Capt. Khalid Shams (Chief of Safety), and Hasib ul Alam (Head of Airline Security), among others. The IOSA program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. All IATA members are IOSA registered and must remain registered to maintain their IATA membership.
