Bahrain Airport Services, ground service provider at the Bahrain International Airport, has recently achieved the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 accreditation.

The accreditation specifies the requirement of  establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) within the organisation.

It also certifies specific requirements to be met for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organisation (BAS), the company said.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 162 national standards bodies. Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

BAS is an ISAGO (IATA's Safety Audit for Ground Operations) accredited ground service provider. ISAGO has been built upon a 'backbone' of audit standards applicable to all ground handling companies worldwide, coupled with a uniform set of standards relevant for the specific activities of any ground handler.

European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has also accredited BAS with EASA part-145 for Aircraft Line Maintenance and part-147 for BAS Aircraft Engineering Training Centre (BAETC).

BAS remains focused on its core strategic objective which is to continuously strive to maintain the highest level of safety and security standards through the effective implementation of a safety management system across all functional departments, the company said.

This is strongly reflected upon the numerous certifications that BAS has received related to global quality, health, security and maintenance standards, it said.

BAS also announced that it has signed a technical handling agreement with Saudi Arabian Airlines for the Bahrain International Airport.

“BAS is delighted to partner with international airlines for technical handling and we remain dedicated towards strengthening the quality of our processes and procedures to ensure the most efficient on-time-performance,” said Jalal Mohammed Jalal, chairman of BAS.

The agreement displays their confidence in our expertise and experience over the years and our commitment to provide the highest level of safety checks, said Engineer Osama Helmi, manager, line maintenance.

"We would be covering all aspects of the technical handling with the strict governance of the Maintenance Organisation Exposition which is a formal document describing how an approved maintenance organisation or MRO is structured to achieve delivery of its activity. This will ensure the timeliness of our processes and increase efficiency as we support our partners,” he said. – TradeArabia News Service
