Firefly achieves IOSA Registry renewal following successful risk-based audit

Firefly is pleased to announce that it has successfully extended the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Registry for a further two (2) years until February 2028, reaffirming the airline’s continued commitment to maintaining the highest global standards of operational safety and reliability.

The IOSA Registry renewal follows Firefly’s successful completion of its first Risk-Based IOSA (RBI) audit. The audit marked a significant milestone for the airline, transitioning from the conventional IOSA audit methodology to the more advanced risk-based approach.

The RBI audit represents an evolution of the IOSA program, focusing on safety risks unique to each airline rather than a uniform audit framework. The assessment covered multiple operational disciplines, including organization and safety management systems, flight operations, flight dispatch, aircraft engineering and maintenance, cabin operations, ground handling, cargo operations, and operational security, in line with IATA’s global benchmarks.

Bryan Foong, Chief Executive Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “The renewal of our IOSA Registry following our first Risk-Based Audit is a proud moment for Firefly. It reflects the professionalism, discipline and teamwork demonstrated across the organization, and our unwavering commitment to safety as the foundation of our operations. We will continue to strengthen our systems and processes to ensure we deliver safe, reliable and quality services to the communities we serve.”

Firefly’s successful IOSA Registry renewal reflects strong compliance, robust safety governance, and continued alignment with IATA’s globally recognized safety benchmarks, reinforcing confidence among passengers, partners, and regulators.

The IOSA programme is an internationally recognised evaluation system designed to assess an airline’s operational management and control systems. Over the past two decades, IOSA has set the global benchmark for airline safety audits and continues to play a critical role in enhancing safety performance across the aviation industry.
