AIRASIA X has completed the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit, the benchmark for global safety management in airlines.
Tony Fernandes, chief executive officer of AirAsia Group, said on Tuesday that the long-haul carrier was the group’s first to register with the audit programme, an internationally recognised and accepted evaluation system designed to access the operational management and control systems of an airline.
The registration marked a major milestone for the group, he said.
“The other airlines across the group are in the midst of the preparation process and we are committed to getting them through the audit process,” he said in a statement.
Kamarudin Meranun, a co-founder of AirAsia X and group CEO, said participation in the audit was a natural extension to its safety commitment.
