Jeju Air said on the 2nd that it strengthened a data-centered safety operation system to prepare for risk-based IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certification.
Risk-based IOSA is an audit system introduced by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to enhance the effectiveness of aviation safety management by analyzing airline-specific safety data and checking risk factors.
The certification preparation was carried out by identifying risk factors in advance based on 779 quality audits conducted last year across all business areas, including flight operations, maintenance, cabin service, flight dispatch, and transportation.
Jeju Air also checked environmental, organizational, and systemic factors using HFACS (Human Factors Analysis and Classification System) to prevent human error.
Jeju Air plans to use this as a basis to receive IOSA recertification. Jeju Air obtained IOSA certification in 2009 and has maintained it by renewing it every two years.
To share data analysis results and improve execution, Jeju Air held a workshop at the end of last month attended by companywide quality auditors and working-level staff to review key improvement cases.
A Jeju Air official said, "We are minimizing safety blind spots through precise, data-based analysis," adding, "Through preparations for risk-based IOSA certification, we will build a safety management system that exceeds global standards and continue to strengthen customer trust and safe operations."
