The renewal also ensures the airline’s eligibility for codeshare agreements with other carriers and, in some countries, is a prerequisite for obtaining a license for regular operations.
Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, Managing Director and CEO of Biman, highlighted the airline’s commitment to safety and adherence to industry best practices, noting, “IOSA registration is a prestigious international acknowledgment of our operational safety, security, and compliance.”
The audit involved a thorough assessment of Biman’s policies, programs, processes, and procedures across a wide range of operational areas, including flight operations, aircraft engineering and maintenance, flight dispatch, cabin operations, cargo services, aviation security, ground operations, administration, human resources, safety and quality assurance, and IT.
Dr. Rahman also emphasized that the IOSA certification helps build Biman’s reputation and instill customer confidence, enabling the airline to expand its market reach and strengthen business partnerships.
