The IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) Oversight Council (IOC) is an entity within the IATA governance that acts as advisor to the Safety, Flight and Ground Operations Advisory Council (SFGOAC), IATA management and other relevant IATA bodies on all matters that relate to the IOSA program. It provides recommendations on how to implement those measures in a rational, coordinated and cost-effective structure. The IOC reports to the SFGOAC, which in turn, reports to the Board of Governors of IATA.

  • Issues that have an impact to the integrity of IOSA, including quality assurance and external industry factors
  • Audit Organization and Endorsed Training Organization reporting
