IATA airlines: audited to be among the safest
Not all airlines are the same, and there’s a simple way to know yours meets the highest standards.
What IATA and the IOSA audit are
IATA groups most of the world’s major airlines. To belong, an airline must pass the IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit), a thorough safety audit repeated periodically. Audited airlines keep a stronger safety record.
The numbers, in the positive
According to IATA’s 2025 safety report, the recent reference works out to roughly one incident per 759,646 flights. On average, a person would have to fly for tens of thousands of years — around 49,246 — to experience a 100% fatal accident. Commercial aviation keeps getting safer year on year.
How to know your airline is audited
You can check whether your airline is on IATA’s IOSA registry. The major airlines you’re most likely to fly with are almost certainly on it.
