The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has awarded SriLankan Airlines the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) Registration, following the successful completion of a comprehensive audit of ground-handling operations at Bandaranayake International Airport (CMB).

The SriLankan Airlines Company is the 158th ground handling company in the world to receive this registration.

Licensed auditors carried out the ground operations audit at the Bandaranayake International Airport (CMB), following almost 400 standards which involved the headquarters and station management system, passenger and baggage handling, load control, aircraft handling and loading, aircraft ground movement and cargo and mail handling.

The ISAGO registration offers benefits to airlines, ground handlers as well as airport authorities as it promotes safer ground operations, fewer accidents and injuries, eliminates redundant audits and harmonizes standards within ground operations.
