Safety

Safety is the industry’s top priority. IATA continues to work with airlines and industry partners in raising standards and implementing best practice. The Six-point Safety Program ties the various safety initiatives together. This comprehensive safety strategy was developed in close collaboration with IATA’s member airlines and strategic partners.

Global Safety Information Center A key driver for safety improvements is data sharing. The Global Safety Information Center (GSIC) was created to enable IATA member airlines and other authorized users to access multiple sources of industry safety data.

IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)

Another cornerstone of the approach to enhancing aviation safety is the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), an internationally recognized program that is implemented consistently throughout the industry.

Safety Tools
