Cyprus Airways achieves IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registration

Cyprus Airways has announced that it has successfully passed the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) that took place in April 2018, one of the highest standards in the world for airline operational safety.

“We are very proud that Cyprus Airways achieved IOSA Registration, after one year of operations. Safety has always been and will continue to be our top priority. Our achievement reflects Cyprus Airways’ continuous commitment in adopting industry leading safety practices” said George Mavrocostas, Chief Operating Officer of Cyprus Airways.

Cyprus Airways launched flights in June 2017 and connects Cyprus with 10 destinations in Europe, Russia and the Middle East.

The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline.

In July 2016, Charlie Airlines Ltd, a Cyprus registered company, won a tender competition for the right to use the trademark Cyprus Airways for a decade. The company launched flights in June 2017 to 4 destinations.

Cyprus Airways is based at Larnaca International Airport. All Cyprus Airways flights operate on modern Airbus A319 aircraft with a capacity of 144 Economy Class seats.

The company’s long-term goal is to contribute to the increase of tourism in Cyprus, while at the same time broadening the horizon for local travellers.
