Tanja Grobotek , The IATA’s regional director for Africa, who disclosed this, also confirmed that the IOSA certifications have been obtained by Arik Air, FirstNation Airways, and Aero Contractors. He said that while Dana, Overland and Allied Air and Cargo Services are currently on the verge of securing the IOSA certification, Air Peace has done its last workshop and is about to be audited.
The IOSA certificate is issued to an airline after a successful assessment and demonstration of compliance to safety regulations as specified by the body. While commending the NCAA for a long-standing collaboration with the IATA on operational safety, its chief expressed optimism in seeing more airlines obtain the IOSA certification which will be a boost to the industry in Nigeria.
