Lagos, Nov. 9, 2016 (NAN) RwandAir, the national flag carrier of the Republic of Rwanda, has announced its successful registration as an International Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO).
Mrs Ibiyemi Odusi, the airline Country Manager, Nigeria, made the announcement in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that ISAGO is an International Air Transport Association (IATA) standardised and structured audit programme for Ground Service Providers (GSP).
Odusi said that with the registration, RwandAir is now a Certified GSP under the IATA–ISAGO registry and valid for two years till July 2018.
“This follows an audit conducted on RwandAir ground operations in July 2016 by WAKEQA, an IATA approved audit organisation.
“The audit was concluded with minimal findings and observations.
“The audit uses internationally recognised ground operational standards aimed at reducing risk and cost as well as minimising damages and incidents,” she said.
Odusi, in the statement, quoted Mr John Mirenge, the Chief Executive Officer of RwandAir, as saying that the airline would provide enhanced ground-handling services with high safety standards to its customers.
“This would not have been possible without the dedicated, tireless, hardwork 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,” Mirenge was quoted as saying. (NAN)
