Introduction.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced a major update to its IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) program. Starting in 2025, IOSA renewal audits will adopt a risk-based methodology, shifting to more tailored and focused evaluations of airlines’ operational safety. This approach aims to enhance safety oversight by addressing specific risks unique to each airline.
African Aviation: Projections and Statistics.
A study titled ‘Environmental Consciousness and Air Travel Behaviour: Perspectives from Domestic Air Travellers in South Africa‘ examined environmental awareness and its influence on airline choice among South African air travelers. The findings showed that while all 394 participants agreed on the need for airlines to reduce their environmental impact, nearly 42% opposed paying green fees introduced by airlines. Only 31.5% supported additional charges to offset carbon emissions, while 23.6% were indifferent. This underscores a significant divide in public perception, with many travelers believing the financial responsibility for climate mitigation should lie with the airline industry rather than passengers.
