In 2012, PACTL passed the initial ISAGO Audit by the IATA appointed Auditor Airlines. The ISAGO Audit focus on the Cargo Handling, Safety and Security of Ground Operation, aimed to standardize the Safety Management System and Quality Management System of the Ground Services Providers in Civil Aviation industry and help the Ground Services Providers to establish and implement the related processes to meet IATA requirements.
To prepare this particular audit, PACTL has established a complete company documentation/manual system and the Quality Management System. Our cargo and mail handling of each respective department/process has been fully in compliance with IATA standards and recommended practices. Meanwhile, we conduct internal audit at least once a year and also accepts ISAGO Renewal Audit by IATA every two years to keep our cargo handling process efficiency and quality service.
The ISAGO audit covers most of audit factors that our customer airlines are doing year by year. The ISAGO register might be the contribution to airlines by reducing their costs of audit.
