A Nigerian carrier, United Nigeria Airlines, says it has been registered as an Operational Safety Audit Programme operator under the International Air Transport Association.
A statement on Friday by its Chief Operating Officer, Mr
Mazi Okonkwo, said the certification would enable the airline to expand its
local and regional operations.
“We are extremely excited that we have formally achieved our
target set on the first day of operation in accordance to best global
standards.
“I must say that the audit process, which was thorough and
tasking, has been a worthwhile exercise as it provided us invaluable
opportunities to improve our processes and procedures.
“Our profound gratitude goes to the great team United
Nigeria that worked diligently and tirelessly to prepare and follow through the
audit processes,” Okonkwo said.
He reassured the airline’s passengers of improvements in
safety and other services.
Also, Mr Nick Careen, Senior Vice President, Operations,
Safety and Security, IOSA, commended the airline for its certification.
Careen said that the certification, under the IATA
Operational Safety Audit Programme (IOSA), was in accordance with the
