TGA gets IATA Standard Safety Assessment certification

Trans Guyana Airways has completed all required audits and improvements to acquire its IATA Standard Safety Assessment (ISSA) certification.
ISSA is the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) global safety assessment for operators of smaller aircraft. TGA is one of the two airlines from Caricom countries on the ISSA registry.
Director of Operations, Captain Andre Farinha remarked, “Trans Guyana Airways is always endeavouring to raise our safety and operations standards in keeping with the changing landscape of our country.”
ISSA builds on IATA’s internationally recognised IOSA programme. Assessment standards are derived directly from IOSA Standards and Recommended Practices, including elements of the ICAO Safety Management System (SMS).
Trans Guyana Airways said it continuously monitors all safety and operations systems through its Safety/Quality Assurance Department. The ISSA accreditation was initiated by the former Director of Safety and Quality, Capt Jonathan Fitt, and was completed by the collective efforts and dedication of the safety team.
Originating in 1956, Trans Guyana Airways (TGA) has grown into one of Guyana’s dynamic domestic commercial airlines, delivering a legacy of aviation experience and excellence as a member company of the Correia Group of Companies.
Trans Guyana’s mission is to provide safe and reliable air transport services to its customers in Guyana and around the region. TGA said it is proud of its reputation for providing customers with a superior service dedicated to safety, reliability and customer service as the first priority.
