The IOSA is the benchmark for global safety management in air carriers.
The audit's scope included flight operations, operations control, maintenance,
inflight services, ground operations, cargo and security. Within each of those
areas, auditors determined conformance of US Airways' procedures to IOSA
standards and recommended practices contained in the IOSA Standards Manual.
The final results showed that US Airways conformed to every IOSA standard.
US Airways Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Compliance Paul Morell
said, "This successful completion represents the collaboration of many groups
within the airline, the FAA as well as a great IATA sanctioned auditing team."
Added US Airways Chairman and CEO Doug Parker, "We're immensely pleased by
the outstanding marks we received as a result of this audit. We could not have
done it without the determination, focus and heavy lifting that our
safety-conscious employees carry out every day, and on every flight. We look
forward to a continued listing on the IOSA Registry as a result of this audit
and will continue to make safety the number one priority in everything we do."
Successful completion of the audit results in a listing on the IOSA
Registry, which is a requirement for IATA membership and US Airways' continued
STAR Alliance membership. US Airways has been listed on the IOSA Registry
since 2004.
