Aviator Airport Alliance, a full-range provider of aviation services at 15 airports across the Nordics and a family member of Avia Solutions Group, has earned three key International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certifications in the areas of Quality, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

Aviator was the solely responsible for the work done to earn these certifications, and there was no use of consultants or outside assistance to become compliant with ISO standards. The certifications come after audits, reviews and inspections performed by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), a Norwegian world leading classification society, at multiple stations in Aviator’s service network. 

“This certification is a testament to our ability to provide ground support and improve on-time performance and is the result of a team effort and collaboration,” Ola M Bakk, head of safety at Aviator, said. “I am proud of the many individuals who worked hard over the past few months, as well as our teams at airports across our network, who made the inspections and audit successful for the certification process.”

The certifications earned include ISO 9001 for Quality, 14001 for Environmental and 45001 for Occupational health and safety management systems. Aviator officials said that they picked these certifications to pursue because of their synergy with the ground handlers and internationally recognized standards, as well as their strategic importance to the company's operations.

“These certifications reflect our priorities for aviation Safety, efficiency, and quality control in the support of airline operations,” Bakk said. “These certifications reflect our priorities for aviation safety, efficiency, and quality control in support of airline operations,” Bakk said. “The certifications are an important achievement for our business, as the number of people involved in these audits demonstrates that our priorities are embedded in our company's culture, and this will enable us to grow.”
