Rwanda signs aviation safety MOU
The Rwandan CAA and IATA have agreed to cooperate on safety, as part of a wider African drive to get all airlines on the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) register. Under the 2015 Abuja Declaration, African govts committed to recognise IOSA as a safety standard and get all of the continents’ airlines IOSA-registered by 2020. Tuesday, IATA said it has signed an MOU with the Rwandan CAA, which will further develop Rwanda’s safety oversight program. “Rwanda, when this MOU is implemented, will be the second African state after Zimbabwe to fulfil this commitment,” IATA said. IOSA was established in 2003 as an airline-safety benchmark, which is now held by 440 airlines—including 34 African airlines. IOSA certification is required to become an IATA member airline. <br/>
