To become an IATA member, KlasJet had to meet several mandatory requirements, including passing the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). Conducted by accredited IATA auditors, this audit examined the airline’s flight operations, technical maintenance systems, passenger and baggage handling, risk management and other critical areas of operations. 

Joining IATA is a significant milestone for our airline, says Indre Liveikyte, Compliance Monitoring Manager at KlasJet. It is a quality and safety mark recognized by airports, regulatory institutions, and business partners worldwide. This membership demonstrates that KlasJet is not only a safe and reliable company, but also an innovative, world-class player ready to operate in a competitive, strictly regulated environment.

KlasJet employs a structured and continuously improving management system, encompassing regular internal audits and inspections, periodic mandatory employee training, and operational process reviews. All levels – from flight operations to ground services and training centers – function as an integrated system that helps the company not only respond to but proactively manage compliance issues.

According to Liveikyte, KlasJet understands that IATA standards compliance is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment:

Our Compliance and Safety departments actively collaborate with other divisions to ensure that safety is integrated into every operational decision, not just treated as a formal procedure. We have already set a date for the IOSA registration renewal audit, as well as for internal audits to verify consistent compliance. We strive to implement compliance daily through control, training, and clear accountability.

As an official IATA member, KlasJet plans to actively use key IATA resources and tools to strengthen its competencies and efficiency. These include IATA-offered employee training, the IOSA Standards System, statistics and analytical data, and IATA Safety Connect platforms for sharing safety insights with other airlines and accessing current industry best practices.

According to Liveikyte, achieving IATA membership is ultimately a reflection of the KlasJet team's extraordinary commitment and daily dedication:

Operating as both an ACMI carrier and VIP charter operator means our teams must seamlessly navigate two very different operational worlds, and this requires our people to consistently go that extra step. Our employees demonstrate great commitment to excellence, shared pursuit of our common goals, and strong focus on safety and professionalism. IATA membership acknowledges not only our operational achievements but the remarkable efforts of every team member who has elevated KlasJet to this new level of international recognition and reliability.
