Quality Management
Ⅰ. ISAGO Registration (ISAGO REGISTRY)
On July 9, 2009, Asiana Airlines obtained ISAGO certification for the first time among domestic ground operators. Obtaining this certification for the first time in Korea and the 15th in the world from the International Air Transportation Association, the International Association of the Aviation Industry, Asiana Airlines has become one of the world's leading operators.
Asiana Airlines applied for certification to IATA on March 12 to introduce the ISAGO program, which was launched last year, and passed the headquarters system evaluation and the on-site evaluation in March and April, respectively.
We completed all the examination processes until June 2009, notified the results to IATA and finally finished the certification through self-quality inspection. The expected effects of acquiring ISAGO certification include enhanced competitiveness of operation due to the acquisition of international safety certification specialized in the field of ground handling service, improved image for customers and settlement as an advanced operator due to the establishment of a safety management system in accordance with IATA regulations.
In addition, the certification from the international organization has inspired the pride and loyalty to the company of employees.
This certification is more meaningful as it is the result of externally acknowledged efforts of the employees who showed the unity for safe operation. In addition to this, Asiana Airport will continue to make every effort to become the world's No. 1 advanced operator by realizing safe operation and providing high quality service. Thank you.

Ⅱ. AEO Certification (Authorized Economic Operator)
ASIANA AIRPORT is the first ground operator in the bonded area who obtained AEO certification. In April 2014, it has been approved by the Korea Customs Service for AEO re-certification and has been upgraded from A grade, the operation of the former bonded area, to AA grade. AEO means a company that has been authorized by its Customs Offices in compliance with World Customs Organization's (WCO) Import and Export Supply Chain Safety Management Standards or equivalent standards among the logistics entities such as shippers, customs brokers, carriers, warehousers, ships, airlines, loading and unloading traders.
In particular, AEO is valid not only in its own country also in other foreign countries that signed Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA).
ASIANA AIRPORT not only was officially authorized by Korea Customs Services for its reliability and safety but also we raised the image of being a safe company recognized by the customs of the trading partner countries.
Ⅲ. Aviation fuel quality control
The aviation fuel quality control application standard is based on “Guidelines for Aviation Fuel Quality Control & Operating Procedures for Joint Airport Depots (IATA Endorsed)”, which is the strictest in the world, and top-level aviation fuel quality control service is recognized through the regular / frequent checks of national airlines and foreign airliners including IATA.
