Ethiopian Airlines is proud to announce that it has successfully passed the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). The completion of the IOSA registration is a milestone for Ethiopian Airlines, and confirms the airline’s commitment to safety.
The registration is the result of Ethiopian’s fundamental commitment to provide safe and reliable air transport services for passengers and cargo.
IOSA is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. IOSA uses internationally recognized quality audit principles and is designed so that audits are conducted in a standardized and consistent manner.
Ethiopian is one of the only five Sub-Saharan African carriers that have successfully passed the IOSA audit and qualifying the audit has multiple benefits to Ethiopian Airlines.
The Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian, Ato Girma Wake, welcomed the announcement and said, “The IOSA registration is another indication that Ethiopian Airlines ranks among the world’s best airlines. We see this as the first step in entering into new code share agreements that will further integrate our network into those of the global alliances. Our staff has worked very hard to achieve this milestone, and I offer my sincere thanks for all their efforts.”

About Ethiopian Airlines
With more than 60 years in the aviation industry, today, Ethiopian flies to 46 destinations across four continents; this summer’s addition of Sana’a and Bahrain will bring the total to 48 destinations worldwide. Ethiopian does not only link Africa to the world, but also Africa to Africa, with convenient schedules between Lagos, Accra, Bamako, and Dakar to all the major capitals of East and Southern Africa.
Ethiopian Airlines will be the second airline in the world to take delivery of the Boeing Dreamliner 787, an aircraft that will allow the airline to expand even further. Look for its arrival in 2008.
