Kabul based Kam Air has passed a major international safety audit and is now a 5-star safety accredited airline after satisfying more than 1000 parameters. The accreditation under the  International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) provides a significant boost to the airline’s safety rating. The IOSA certification audit is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. The biennial safety audit is compulsory for IATA members and airlines that have completed the audit have a safety record almost four times better than those that have not. It covers eight key areas: corporate organization and management systems, flight operations, operational control - flight dispatch, aircraft engineering and maintenance, cabin operations, ground handling, cargo operations and operational security. AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas congratulated Kam Air on this achievement. “Kam Air is a major part of the economic life of Afganistan,” said Thomas. “This is an excellent outcome and will help promote travel to the region.” Kam Air flies to a total of 15 destinations including 7 domestic destinations and 8 international destinations in 8 countries.
