Africa World Airlines (AWA) has officially been inducted into the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Safety Leadership Charter.
Andrew D. Asante-Amankwa, AWA’s head of safety, said: “We are proud to announce that Africa World Airlines (AWA) has officially been inducted into the prestigious IATA Safety Leadership Charter. This recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to fostering a strong safety culture across all levels of our organization.”
He added that the Safety Leadership Charter also places AWA among a select group of airlines globally that have pledged to uphold the highest standards of safety leadership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
The Safety Leadership Charter which was jointly signed by Willie Walsh, director general of IATA, and Luolin Cui, the chief executive officer of AWA, represents a commitment by industry leaders to the continuous evolution of safety culture within their organisations and by IATA to support this evolution worldwide.
