Air Senegal has announced its attainment of the prestigious IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certification. This certification, issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), serves as a hallmark of quality and safety, earned after a comprehensive audit covering an impressive 1057 checkpoints across eight critical domains.

These encompass quality management systems, safety protocols, organizational structure, aircraft maintenance practices, flight operations, cabin and technical crew training, ground operations, including cargo handling, as well as flight operations control center and security measures.

Embracing this recognition brings forth manifold advantages for Air Senegal, propelling it forward as a leader in the aviation industry. The IOSA certification bolsters the airline’s operational security and safety, elevates the quality of service delivered, and solidifies its stature in the international aviation community. Moreover, it opens avenues for interline development with international partners and alliances, paving the way for strategic commercial agreements, including codeshare partnerships.

This achievement also positions Air Senegal for potential membership in the esteemed IATA organization, a testament to its credibility and operational proficiency. The certification’s far-reaching impact even extends to tangible benefits, such as potentially reduced insurance premiums, reinforcing the airline’s financial stability.

Alioune Badara Fall, the General Manager of Air Senegal, expresses his elation, remarking, “We are delighted to see Air Senegal taking a new step towards excellence. This certification will allow us to forge important partnerships to offer the best to our passengers. I congratulate the Air Senegal teams who have actively worked and contributed to obtaining this certification.”

Since its inception in 2016, Air Senegal has rapidly ascended, commencing operations in 2018 with a vision to become a premier air transport provider in West Africa. Leveraging its central hub at Blaise Diagne International Airport in Dakar, the airline seamlessly connects Europe, the United States, and West Africa, servicing domestic, regional, and international routes. With a diverse fleet comprising two Airbus A330-900 Neo, two Airbus A321, two Airbus A319, and two ATR 72-600 aircraft, Air Senegal serves a network encompassing 21 destinations, including major cities like Paris, New York, and Barcelona.
