AirlineRatings.com now recognises the UK-based SARPcheck audit in its safety ratings in place of or in addition to IATA’s Operational Safety Audit.

SARPcheck is overseen and governed by a Not-For-Profit Organisation (NFP), the Safety Audit Review Partnership Limited (SARP Ltd.), headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

Key industry stakeholders including airlines, regulators, and audit firms (known as Safety and Quality Organisations - SQOs), are invited as members of the NFP. They guide the SARPcheck programme with the primary goal of enhancing global flight safety.

The consortium of SQOs includes some of the most seasoned and prominent aviation safety audit firms worldwide.

SARPcheck, a new global safety audit program designed for the commercial aviation sector, aims at elevating global flight safety and facilitating smoother airline business operations.

With a focus on enabling codeshares, wet leases, and charter operations, this program is characterized by its outstanding accessibility, affordability, and pragmatism.


By verifying compliance with all applicable ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) from Annexes 1, 2, 6 (Part 1), 8, 17, 18, and 19 every 24 months, SARPcheck establishes a new benchmark in aviation safety:

• Enhancing global flight safety standard implementation

• Accelerating airline business through streamlined operations

• Enabling codeshare agreements, wet leases, and charter ops

• Accessible, affordable & pragmatic solution to complex safety audits

• Fostering a safer, more reliable aviation industry at all ends of the spectrum
