July 5, 2019 - Jambo Jet has made history by becoming the second Kenyan airline to achieve IATA safety registration, a testament to its dedication to maintaining global safety standards in its operations.
The IOSA program, an internationally recognized evaluation system, assesses the safety, operational management, and control systems of an airline. Jambo Jet's achievement is a significant milestone in the aviation industry, demonstrating its commitment to providing a safe and secure travel experience for its customers.
“Safety is a principal requisite in our industry. Our customers need the assurance that they can travel comfortably, affordably and securely to any of our destinations,” said Mr. Allan Kilavuka, Chief Executive Officer, Jambojet.
As the only operator after Kenya Airways to get IATA safety registration for IOSA registration in Kenya, Jambo Jet has set a high standard for itself and the industry. The airline has successfully completed the IOSA audit, which involves approximately 900 standards and recommended practices, covering eight functional and operational areas.
“The IOSA audit involves a great deal of hard work and requires a significant commitment of people, time and resources. I would like to congratulate Jambojet team for this achievement,” said Mr. Kilavuka.
This achievement comes after the airline was recently awarded the 2018 Bombardier Reliability Award for outstanding performance in dispatch reliability.
