Chautauqua Airlines Becomes First US Based Airline to be
Registered with IOSA
Republic Airways said Tuesday that
its primary subsidiary, Chautauqua Airlines, is the first airline
in the United States and second regional airline in the world to be
registered with IOSA.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) developed the
Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program for flight operations
standards and recommended practices. An audit under IOSA is based
on internationally recognized operational standards and assesses
the operational management and control systems of an airline. An
airline that has been audited to full conformity with IOSA
standards makes a clear positive statement about the integrity of
its operations and its ability to manage associated risks.
On July 5, 2004, The Federal Aviation Administration approved
the IATA Operational Safety Audit Program. The FAA's recognition of
IOSA permits US carriers to use the program's accredited audit
organizations to comply with the US audit requirement rather than
perform the audit themselves. In March, 2004, United Airlines PROS
(Partners in Resources for Operational Safety) conducted an
operational review of Chautauqua Airlines using IATA Operational
Safety Audit (IOSA) standards.
"This IOSA registration confirms our
continued commitment to the highest levels of passenger safety. We
are honored to be the first US based airline to receive this
designation," said Bryan Bedford, Chairman, President and CEO of
Republic Airways.
Republic Airways Holdings, based in Indianapolis (IN) is an
airline holding company. Its principal operating subsidiary,
Chautauqua Airlines was recently named this year's Regional Airline
of the Year by Air Transport World and Regional Airline World. The
airline is celebrating its Thirtieth anniversary of scheduled
commercial passenger service. Chautauqua Airlines offers scheduled
passenger service on more than 570 flights daily to 68 cities in 31
states, District of Columbia, Canada and the Bahamas through code
sharing agreements with four major US airlines. The all-jet airline
currently operates a fleet of 88 Embraer regional jets, including
58 ERJ-145s, 15 ERJ-140s and 15 ERJ-135's. All of its flights are
operated under its major airline partner brand, such as
AmericanConnection, Delta Connection, United Express and US Airways
Express. The airline employs more than 2,100 aviation
professionals.
