Dana Air has been listed on the International Air Transport Association (IATA ) Ground Operations Manual (IGOM) registry.
The registry is for companies and airlines, which have complied with internationally-recognised standards for ground handling.
The IGOM, initiated by IATA, defines ground handling standards for airlines and ground service providers to ensure safe, efficient, and consistent ground service activities.
According to IATA, ground operations are essential tasks for airlines and ground service providers to deliver turnarounds and on time departures, with safety being the number one priority.
