Dana Air,
one of the leading indigenous carriers, has been listed on the International
Air Transport Association (IATA) Ground Operations Manual (IGOM) registry.
The International
Grounds Operations Manual (IGOM) registry is for companies and airlines who
have demonstrated full compliance with internationally recognized standards for
ground handling processes.
The IATA
Ground Operational Manual concept which was initiated by IATA, defines ground
handling standards for airlines and ground service providers to ensure safe,
efficient, and consistent ground service activities.
According to
IATA, ground operations are an essential task for all airlines and ground
service providers to deliver smooth turnarounds and on time departures, with
safety being the number one priority.
The IATA
Board of Governors has set a target (50% of member airlines in 2006) to start
to implement the IATA Ground Operations Manual (IGOM) as their minimum standard
for ground operations.
Dana Air’s
Accountable Manager/ Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Obi Mbanuzuo explained that
Dana Air was listed after the international association confirmed its full
adherence to global ground handling manual.
