IATA grants Aviapartner the ISAGO registration

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) awarded Aviapartner the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) certification. Aviapartner is the first large multi-station European ground handler to be on the ISAGO registry.

Aviapartner Amsterdam is proud to be the first station in Amsterdam to be awarded by the (ISAGO) certification for both Passenger- and Cargo Handling. ISAGO offers benefits to airlines, ground handlers, regulatory as well as airport authorities. Among them, safer ground operations, fewer accidents and injuries, elimination of redundant audits, reduced costs, less damage, a uniform audit process and harmonized standards, improved safety oversight, harmonized auditor training and qualifications, improved quality standards, enhanced understanding of high-risk areas within ground operations.

During the last years (2008-2009), the Aviapartner Head Office in Brussels-Zaventem and 8 stations across its network were audited by IATA-ISAGO: Amsterdam (December 2008), Frankfurt (July 2009), Düsseldorf (September 2009), Munich (October 2009), Brussels (October 2009), Milan-Malpensa (November 2009), Nice (November 2009) and Lyon (December 2009). Amsterdam-Schiphol was the first of these stations to be listed on the ISAGO Registry last week after successful completion of its action plans.
