Is the airline IOSA certified?
The IOSA certification is the biggest joke of all.
Many carriers take it seriously. Some do not, but take great steps to ensure they achieve IOSA audit standards by lies and deception.
How do I know this you may ask? Well I work for a carrier in West Africa that has sailed through this audit when there are glaring holes in the operation. These people are very clever in ensuring the paperwork meets the audit standards. A lot of time and effort (and I suppose money) is spent on ensuring a successful outcome.
Remember that the basis of a successful IOSA audit is a trail of paperwork - it is not an operational audit.
