The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) programme is an internationally recognised airline safety evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of airlines. Created in 2003 by IATA (International Air Transport Association, headquartered in Montreal, formed 1945, ~240 member airlines). IOSA Standards Manual (ISM) is the master IATA copyrighted document containing IOSA Standards and Recommended Practices (ISARPs) - the audit standards covering 8 operational disciplines. Audit organisations accredited by IATA (Audit Organisations, AOs) conduct IOSA audits per a standardised methodology. Airlines remain in the IOSA registry for 2 years following a successful audit; mandatory IATA membership requirement and increasingly required by ICAO Member State CAAs + insurers + code-share partners + lessors. IOSA framework uses internationally recognised quality audit principles (ISO 19011 + ICAO + IATA Quality and Audit Manual). 2024 transition to Risk-Based IOSA (RBI) - shift from prescriptive ISARP audit to risk-based + outcome-focused + continuous monitoring + remote assessment + reduced on-site audit duration for mature airlines. The IATA IOSA programme + ISM is a copyrighted instrument; this corpus entry captures structural framework + categorisation only, not full ISARP text. Public IOSA references at iata.org/en/programs/safety/audit/iosa/ + Skybrary + Wikipedia.
