RwandAir, the national flag carrier of the Republic of Rwanda has announced the successful registration as an ISAGO (IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations) Certified Ground Service Provider (GSP) under the IATA – ISAGO registry valid for two years until July 2018.
The airline said this follows an audit conducted on RwandAir Ground Operations in July this year by WAKE QA, an IATA approved Audit Organization. The audit was concluded with minimal findings and observations.
ISAGO is an IATA standardized and structured audit program for Ground Service Providers (GSP) that was modeled on the success of IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit). The audit uses internationally recognized ground operational standards that are aimed at reducing risk and cost as well as minimizing damages and incidents.
“With this achievement, RwandAir will provide enhanced ground-handling services with high safety standards to its customer airlines and private jets operating at Kigali International Airport, while maximizing productivity,” said the Chief Executive Officer of RwandAir John Mirenge.
He added, “this would not have been possible without the dedicated, tireless, hard work of the RwandAir staff.”
The pursuit of the ISAGO certification, in addition to the existing IOSA certification, confirms RwandAir’s commitment to the industry best practices in operational safety to a world-class level.
