Cargolux passes 7th IOSA audit with flying colors

Cargolux Airlines International S.A. is pleased to announce that it has passed its seventh IOSA audit with exceptionally good results. The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline.

As a member of IATA, Cargolux is required to pass an initial IOSA audit and subsequent renewal audits every two years. This ensures a constant enhancement of aviation safety and is recognized by insurers and several aviation authorities across the world. During the week-long renewal audit, five IOSA representatives assessed Cargolux on approximately 900 different standards.

“This fantastic result is the reflection of Cargolux’s commitment to high standards, and the efforts invested by the teams to continuously monitor and enhance procedures.” explains Joeri Meeûs, Director Quality & Compliance Monitoring. “After years of mobilizing teams and preparing the audits ahead of time, we have decided to adopt a smoother and more seamless approach. Since the last assessment, we have worked hard to integrate IOSA requirements into our daily processes to facilitate the audits, and ensure best practices are upheld throughout the year.”

The company’s outstanding achievement is the latest testament to the company’s effort to promote safety and compliance throughout the organization. Cargolux continuously monitors and assesses its procedures and policies to ensure quality service for its stakeholders. As an airline with a global network, it is crucial for Cargolux to maintain safety as its top priority. These results serve as an important pillar of our ongoing journey towards increased safety and transparency.
