AirAsia Malaysia wins IOSA approval

AirAsia’s core Malaysian operation has been registered on IATA’s operational safety audit (IOSA) for the first time, joining 2 other AirAsia affiliate carriers on the list. AirAsia Malaysia gained its IOSA accreditation after passing an audit. Sister-carrier AirAsia X joined the IOSA list in 2014, and affiliate AirAsia Indonesia was registered last month. The AirAsia group wants its remaining short-haul LCC franchises to undertake the IOSA audit process by early next year. Its other LCC affiliates are based in India, Thailand and the Philippines. There are now 68 Asia-Pacific airlines on the IOSA registry, according to IATA data. AirAsia is the fourth Malaysia-based carrier on the list, after AirAsia X, Malaysia Airlines, and Malindo Airways. <br/>
