Proflight Zambia Becomes Zambia’s Only IOSA-Registered Airline
Proflight Zambia has successfully achieved registration on the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Registry, becoming the only airline in Zambia to hold this globally recognised accreditation.
The IOSA registration marks a major milestone in Proflight Zambia’s commitment to operational safety, reliability, and efficiency. The rigorous audit, conducted every two years, evaluates an airline’s operational management and control systems against internationally accepted safety standards.
“Safety is, and will always remain, our top priority,” said Mr Kenneth Sunga Silavwe, Director – Safety, Quality, Security and IT at Proflight Zambia. “Successfully completing the IOSA audit reflects the professionalism, dedication, and discipline of our teams. Being listed on the IOSA Registry validates our safety management systems and reinforces our reputation as a trusted airline in the region.”
Globally recognised as the benchmark for airline operational safety, IOSA registration confirms that an airline meets IATA’s Standards and Recommended Practices (ISARPs).
Airlines listed on the IOSA Registry consistently demonstrate stronger safety performance, with lower all-accident rates, highlighting the effectiveness of the IOSA framework in improving operational safety.
“Achieving IOSA registration is more than meeting international standards,” Mr Silavwe added. “It enhances market credibility, supports operational excellence, and strengthens passenger confidence. It also opens opportunities for interline partnerships and codeshare agreements with global carriers, improving connectivity to, from, and within Zambia.”
