National Aviation Services (NAS), the fastest growing aviation services provider in the emerging markets, has renewed its IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) accreditation for Kilimanjaro and Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. NAS Dar Airco’s operations at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and the Julius Nyerere International Airport are ISAGO accredited covering Organization and Management (ORM), Load Control (LOD), Passenger and Baggage Handling (PAB), Aircraft Handling and Loading (HDL), Aircraft Ground Movement (AGM) as well as Cargo and Mail Handling (CGM).

NAS Dar Airco handles over 3,000 flights operating in and out of the two airports annually, including Astral Aviation, Ethiopian Airlines, Fly Dubai, KLM and RwandAir.

The ISAGO is an internationally recognized audit program for assessing safety management and control systems for ground handling service providers. Based on industry-proven quality audit principles, ISAGO follows a stringent and structured process that reviews training, management system policies, processes and procedures, etc.

Globally, NAS has a presence in more than 60 airports, handling seven out of the world’s top 10 airlines and operating more than 50 airport lounges across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. As the company grows its presence across the globe, it also continues to drive efforts towards maintaining the highest levels of safety and quality in all operations. With this goal, the company aims to have all its stations accreditation in due course. Currently, 7 out of NAS’s 26 airport ground handling operations are ISAGO accredited.
