Executive charter operator DC Aviation (Booth 4859) has again passed the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) with a very positive assessment, the Stuttgart, Germany-based company announced this week. In February, five auditorsreviewed more than 1,000 standardsand processesat DC Aviation. The areas covered aviation lawand regulations, technology and safety and quality management and flight operations. Many new questions had to be answered as part of the audit, according to DC Aviation.
  
The IATA operational safety audit was originally devised for airlines but in 2007 DC Aviation decided to undergo the process, as a way to raise its safety standards. According to the company, only a few business jet operators subject their operations to the IOSA audit.
