AB to rejoin IATA-Ramsden

He was responding to a question by Member of Parliament (MP) for Mogoditshane Patrick Masimolole who wanted to know whether withdrawal of Air Botswana's membership from IATA was associated with its non-compliance with IATA safety requirements and standards.

Ramsden said that IATA Operational Safety Audit programme is an internationally recognised and accepted evaluation system designed to assess operational management and control systems of an airline.
