IOSA started out as just a concept, but it is now getting a grip and the airlines are sitting up and paying attention. Why is it a broad brush? If ICAO can enforce a similar inspection and enforcement process then we can have safer skies. Its all too easy to say it cant be done.
Can you provide an example of an enforcement that befits ICAO. I mean something other than words to the effect "stop it".
A regulatory agency within a country (Europe etc.) has the power to ban only the flights within its purview and not the flights into some other country.
ICAO like the UN can use words which are equally ineffective outside a specfic country unless an individual regulator decides to adopt them.
We've come a long way in having organizations, representing many, publish words of "best practices" when it comes to safety but we still don't have equality among national aviation entities.
