Lahore, Dec 1, 2012: Flight Safety Foundation, a renowned International body for promotion of aviation safety, has awarded Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) certification for maintaining safety standards.
Managing Director PIA Capt. Muhammad Junaid Yunus resolved that the national flag carrier gives top priority to safety standards and training of its pilots, cabin crew and employees to manage the aircraft and the passengers safely in abnormal situations. We are committed to excellence in service, he added.
Flight Safety Foundation said, We feel that it is important to keep updated on the progress with reference to PIA's initiatives for continual improvement in safety & quality.
The standard called Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) supports Safety Management System (SMS) philosophy and recognized around the world as major international airlines are subscribing to it.
The airline was audited for BARS certification in August 2012. PIA successfully cleared this audit without any audit nonconformity. Clearing an operation safety audit with zero finding shows that our systems comply with the requirements of international safety standards.
PIA has been maintaining IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification since 2006 and now by being BARS certified we are more confidently moving forward towards the right direction, MD PIA reassured.
