However, Tanzanian authorities, led by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA), have provided assurances to travelers and industry professionals. These clarifications are crucial as Tanzania seeks to maintain confidence in its aviation sector despite the international concerns. Tanzania is working diligently to resolve the situation and provide clarity regarding the safety of its airlines. While the inclusion on the EU Air Safety List has raised concerns, the country’s aviation officials have explained that the issue mainly affects flights within EU and UK airspace, and not the safety of flights operating within Tanzania or to other destinations. In this article, we’ll look at the developments, the role of the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority, and how it impacts travelers’ insurance. The Inclusion of Tanzanian Airlines on the EU Air Safety List In the travel news of 3rd June 2025, Tanzanian airlines were added to the EU Air Safety List, with the UK Civil Aviation Authority following suit in July. This move has caused some concern, but it is important to note that these changes only affect flights traveling within EU and UK airspace. For domestic and international flights outside these regions, Tanzanian airlines remain unaffected by the safety listing. The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) clarified that the issue stems from changes in international aviation regulations, not from any failures within Tanzania’s aviation operations. The country has no direct flights to Europe at this time, and as a result, the additional regulatory requirements were not seen as a priority for Tanzanian authorities. Tim Henshall, Head of Tourism Marketing for Tanzania in the UK, remarked, “One can only assume that as Tanzania currently has no airlines flying to Europe, the additional requirement was not deemed a priority by TCAA.” The Role of the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority Commitment to safety: The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) has been proactive in addressing the concerns raised by the EU and UK’s inclusion of Tanzanian airlines on their safety lists. Furaha Sanga, the Chief Airworthiness Inspector at TCAA, assured the public, stating, “I assure you (the trade) and the travelling public that the Tanzanian aviation industry is safe and will continue to be safe.” Sanga highlighted that Tanzanian air operators are highly experienced and have made significant investments to enhance safety over the years. Ongoing regulations: The TCAA continues to ensure that all Tanzanian airlines meet international safety and technical standards, ensuring that passengers flying within Tanzania or to other regions can do so with confidence. These operators follow strict regulations and have been recognized for their commitment to maintaining high safety standards. How the EU Air Safety List Affects Travel Insurance A significant concern for travelers has been the potential impact on their travel insurance due to the changes in the EU Air Safety List. However, according to Alan Pattison, Managing Director of Travel Risk Professionals, “No directive has been issued by insurance underwriters, so that clearly indicates all is well with them.” This statement provides reassurance that travel insurance policies for those flying within Tanzania remain valid, despite the recent international concerns regarding Tanzanian airlines. In short, the changes to the EU Air Safety List do not affect the validity of travel insurance policies for flights in and out of Tanzania. Travelers can rest assured that their coverage remains intact. Impact on Indemnity Insurance and Solutions from the Tanzania Air Operators Association Industry collaboration: Another area of concern for industry stakeholders is the impact on indemnity insurance. To address this issue, members of the Tanzania Air Operators Association (TAOA) have worked together to find solutions. For example, Deepesh Gupta, Director of Sales at Auric Air, shared that they have included international agents as “additional insured” on their insurance policies. This ensures that all parties involved are covered, providing extra protection for both operators and travelers. Independent audits: Similarly, John Gorse, Managing Director of Serengeti Balloon Safaris, recommended that tour operators and agents conduct independent audits on their Tanzanian aviation partners to meet the requirements of indemnity insurance policies. Both Gupta and Gorse emphasized the importance of direct dialogue between tour operators and suppliers to find solutions that work for everyone. The Path Forward for Tanzania’s Travel News Despite the temporary concerns surrounding the inclusion of Tanzanian airlines on the EU and UK Air Safety Lists, Tanzania is optimistic about resolving the situation. David Malanga, Director of Economic Regulation for Air Transport at TCAA, confirmed that Tanzania is working closely with both the EU and the UK to address these issues. Malanga remains hopeful that the situation will be resolved and Tanzania will be removed from the safety lists after a meeting scheduled for early November. This ongoing cooperation between Tanzanian officials and international aviation authorities will help ensure that the country’s aviation industry continues to meet global safety standards. Tanzanian authorities are committed to maintaining the highest level of safety for both domestic and international flights, with the goal of reinstating the country’s standing in global aviation. Tanzania’s Aviation Industry Remains Safe for Travelers For now, Tanzania remains a safe destination for travelers, and air transport within the country continues to meet high safety standards. The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority is working to ensure that the concerns raised by the EU and UK are addressed, but for the time being, domestic flights within Tanzania are unaffected by the international listings. Tanzanian airlines have made significant investments in safety measures, and these efforts will continue as the country works to resolve the issue on the global stage. In conclusion, the recent developments in travel news regarding the safety of Tanzanian airlines on the EU and UK Air Safety Lists have sparked concerns, but the situation remains largely confined to international airspace. The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority continues to oversee the safety of domestic air travel, ensuring that passengers can fly with confidence. With ongoing efforts to address the international concerns, Tanzania’s aviation industry is on track to maintain its commitment to safety and reliability, allowing travelers to continue flying with peace of mind. https://www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article/tanzania-takes-action-to-address-air-safety-concerns-and-reassures-travelers-about-the-safety-of-its-aviation-industry-new-update/ 2 United planes touch tails at SFO, causing damage There was a minor collision reported between United Airlines planes at San Francisco International Airport Monday night. SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KGO) -- A minor collision was reported between United Airlines planes at San Francisco International Airport Monday night, putting Labor Day travel on hold. A jolt that felt like an earthquake -- that's how some United Airlines passengers described the moment when the two planes collided, causing significant damage. One plane damaged another while it was pushing back from the gate, causing the two tails to collide. Passengers on the Boston-bound flight shared on social media that it felt like an earthquake. "I think that's probably a good description," NTSB News Talk Host Max Trescott said. "You know, we're used to sitting in an airplane at the gate and things are very calm and quiet, and this definitely would feel very unusual. I think earthquake is probably a good description." Thankfully, United Airlines said in a statement there were no injuries and passengers on both planes deplaned normally before they continued with their travel. ABC7 News spoke with Aviation Expert Max Trescott about the collision. "What happened is a somewhat uncommon event, but it's not totally unheard of," Trescott said. "What's unusual is that the aircraft hit another aircraft. Usually what happens when this occurs, and that probably happens once a year around the world, it rolls into the tug and so there's a lot less damage." The FAA is investigating what went wrong, but Trescott has some theories. After loading up with passengers, planes are pushed back from the gate by what's known as a tug, driven by the airline's ground controller. At this time, pilots don't have control of the plane because there is no reverse. Trescott says NTSB reports found a number of incidents due to a failure or improper maintenance of the tug, including in Australia this past July. "This may have been a case of either an operator turning the wheel at too sharp an angle, moving at too high a speed," Trescott said. "Most likely it was some operation type of error, but it could have been also a failure to properly maintain the tug." It was a common airport procedure, pushing back from the gate. But in this case, there was an uncommon result. https://abc7news.com/post/collision-between-2-united-airlines-planes-san-francisco-international-airport-causes-damage-wing/17722367/ Third-party Safety Audits: Worthwhile or an Illusion of Safety? Audits provide ongoing reviews but are not foolproof bizjet in motion Audits are an important step but safe operators also participate in a variety of safety programs. Aviation charter customers have many choices when it comes to picking an operator. The savvy ones research operators to find the best and safest fit for their trip, to ensure the safety of their employees, family, or friends. Third-party audits, ratings, and certifications are widely used to establish a safety and quality standard for charter operators. In the past, many audits were simply a “paper chase” exercise. Today, most experts agree; a safety audit will validate an organization’s structure, ensure compliance with applicable regulations, and may even provide an opportunity for continuous improvement through mentoring and leadership training. But here’s the rub: aviation is inherently dangerous, and there are charter operators that simply don’t make the grade. As demonstrated, in recent and past business aviation incidents and accidents, according to reports, some operators often had multiple top-level safety “designations” issued from different organizations—yet they still crashed. Former NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt III called this an “illusion of safety” when a charter company uses these industry safety ratings in their marketing material. Sumwalt made these comments during a public hearing following the crash of a chartered Hawker 700A in Akron, Ohio, that killed nine people. The NTSB categorized this 2015 accident as “a disturbing accident after an unstable approach that raises serious questions about an operator’s procedures and culture.” Sumwalt commented, “Finally, I’m concerned that an organization that had so many safety-related issues could have an Argus Gold rating and be Wyvern Registered. Discriminating customers look to, and trust, such ‘seals of approval’ when selecting their air travel provider.” For the charter customer, how can you measure the safety of an aircraft operator? For a better understanding of third-party safety audits, ratings, and certifications, let’s learn more from a cast of air charter safety professionals. Professional Safety Insights Wyvern CEO Sonnie Bates has a long history of developing safety audits and leadership development programs for business aviation managers. He spent more than six years as an International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) director formulating and evolving the IS-BAO audit—a globally recognized audit standard. According to Bates, “The standard of standards is ICAO Annex 6 Part 1. This is what the Part 121 carriers are held to. IATA further develops these standards to create the IOSA audit. IBAC aligns with ICAO Annex 6 Part 2 (Private Operations), but to a limited degree with Part 1, so not to offend and lose Part 91 private operators who do not want to be scrutinized to the level of a commercial operator.” Bates is convinced that the real value and future of third-party engagement is in structured programs that provide ongoing coaching and leadership training. Bates provided some insight on audits at a basic level: “No audit or certification ‘ensures’ safety. However, they are an indication of commitment to a healthy safety culture. The most highly audited and monitored aviation system in the world (large Part 121 scheduled international air carriers) [can] still have accidents and serious incidents.” JetChecked founder Mike Ruic believes that “these third-party certifications are not worthless, but they are far from a guarantee.” Ruic’s company provides safe and secure end-to-end private aviation services to high-net-worth individuals and Fortune 100 companies. Ruic cites several recent examples, such as the 2021 crash of a Gulfstream IV in the Dominican Republic that killed nine people, including music producer Flow La Movie and his family. This charter operator held third-party safety certifications from two different companies. Ruic added, “Investigations revealed maintenance issues with the spoiler system, despite the flashy certifications on their website.” In April 2025, a chartered Gulfstream V was destroyed in a runway incursion accident in Mexico. Fortunately, no lives were lost. What’s troubling, according to Ruic, was that “this operator had a troubling history with FAA civil penalties, unqualified pilots, and the accident pilot was once arrested with a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit.” According to the operator, at the time of the accident, it had the highest independent safety ratings from Argus, Wyvern, and IS-BAO. Ruic hinted that there may be a better way. At JetChecked, “we only work with operators who treat these audits as a starting point, not the endgame. We dive into FAA enforcement histories, pilot qualifications, maintenance culture, and flight-by-flight vetting. That is where real safety lives, beyond the badge.” Recently retired Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) president Bryan Burns believes charter customers, due to recent high-profile accidents, are becoming more educated and are asking more pointed questions. Burns said, “They are much more aware and are now beginning to question charter operators about their internal safety programs, including safety audits.” According to Burns, “the ACSF feels strongly that third-party audits offer several key benefits including an unbiased assessment, compliance verification, improved safety culture, operational efficiency, enhanced credibility, risk mitigation, and an assessment of a company’s emergency response plan.” In addition, Burns said, “We are a big proponent of the ‘Pathway to Safety’ when it comes to small to medium-sized operators who typically lack time and resources to participate in various safety programs. Audits are just part of the process. Safety programs like Just Culture, SMS, ASAP, and FDM all complement one another when mitigating risk. If you think about it, it’s why airlines are considered the gold standard. They proactively participate in all these initiatives.” Private Aviation Safety Alliance (PASA) president Jessie Naor is no stranger to business aviation and is passionate about aviation safety. In the past, she founded and served in several leadership roles at a large private jet and helicopter charter company and is now the host of “The VIP Seat” podcast. Naor described a wide range of third-party audits. Breaking it down, she said, “It depends on the auditor. The lowest levels range from simply verifying the operator has a 135 certificate and no accident history in the last few years,” while cautioning that much is subject to the auditor’s discretion. She continues, “At the other end, there are onsite audits of the firms’ operations; some occur every two years, and some programs include quarterly reviews. While they don’t ensure safety, I would be much more trusting of an operator that agrees to quarterly programs that include onsite vetting.” “If you’re going to be in the business of aviation, why wouldn’t you have a third party challenge your programs?” Naor says, “That’s what continuous improvement and dedication to safety is all about.” Much of Naor’s focus is now on PASA, a non-profit organization committed to empowering consumers of private aviation with transparent, research-driven safety insights. Notably, PASA is completely unbiased, since it is the only nonprofit in the aviation safety space that operates without funding from the industry it oversees. Naor says, “One of the reasons I founded PASA was to provide more transparency on accidents and incidents to consumers for free, so they can do their own research. The issue with auditing firms is that the financial incentives are misaligned; auditors need to pay the bills, and the only consistent source of revenue is from the operators; this creates a conflict of interest. There have been attempts in the past to have an independent audit standard, but they have failed, unfortunately.” Illusion of Safety—Revisited A decade has passed since former NTSB Chair Sumwalt made his “illusion of safety” comment at the Safety Board’s public hearing on the Hawker 700 crash in Akron, Ohio. Yet, according to KB Solutions CEO Kodey Bogart, that phrase is still very applicable to aviation safety and audits. “While third-party audits and certifications are valuable tools, they can contribute to an ‘illusion of safety’ if not integrated into a broader, proactive safety culture,” said Bogart, a U.S. Army veteran, former Blackhawk medevac pilot, author, and doctoral candidate. “Relying solely on certifications without ongoing commitment to safety can lead to complacency, where the presence of a certificate is mistaken for actual safety performance.” According to Bogart, “To avoid this pitfall, both operators and customers should view certifications as part of a comprehensive approach to safety, emphasizing continuous improvement, employee engagement, and a genuine commitment to safe operations.” Bogart went on to share some experiences as an auditor. “While third-party audits aim to enhance safety, their ability to guarantee it is limited. Audits provide a snapshot of an operator’s compliance at a specific time but may not reflect ongoing practices or cultural attitudes towards safety.” She continued, “Moreover, the effectiveness of an audit depends on the rigor of the auditing process and the operator’s commitment to implementing recommended improvements. It’s important to note that while audits can identify areas for improvement, they do not replace the need for a proactive safety culture within the organization.” Argus International v-p of business aviation audit programs, Patrick Chiles, provided some insight into the audit process. “Audits are a collaborative process between the operator and the audit organization,” he said. “To be truly effective, it must be more than just having the audit team show up with a blank checklist and getting to work. Pre-audit preparation is crucial, which means there is going to be some work on the operator’s part.” Before Argus, Chiles held several management positions at a large fractional ownership company and Part 121 airlines. He added, “For every audit we perform, whether Argus, IS-BAO, ACSF, et cetera, the operator is provided with the checklists ahead of time. They are expected to go through each question and note where each one is addressed in their manual system. The operator then sends the completed checklist to the audit team along with copies of their manuals.” This pre-audit work by the operator is critical, according to Chiles; “This is when the auditors get to work. They will go through each question and verify that the operator’s documented processes meet the intent of the standard. There are over four hundred individual questions in the Argus standard. Without the operator’s input, our auditors would have a considerably more difficult time preparing.” He continued, “This prep work allows the audit team to arrive with a good understanding of the operation and what to focus on while onsite. The idea is to complete the documentation part of the audit ahead of time, so once onsite, the auditors can verify that all of the operator’s processes are being performed as documented. This is especially important because their time onsite is best spent interviewing the management team and other employees, reviewing records, inspecting aircraft and hangar spaces, and observing normal operations. This provides the auditors with a complete picture.” Argus audits are a group effort, Chiles said. “Audit teams always consist of an operations auditor and a maintenance auditor. Our auditors have decades of experience as pilots, maintenance technicians, and licensed dispatchers. This experience is crucial for the judgment needed to interpret the standard and apply that to the operator’s programs.” In addition to managing safety programs, Chiles is a certified auditor. He said, “Completing an Argus audit represents a commitment to safety and operating standards above and beyond the basic requirements of Part 135. This is important to recognize, because new entrants to the program often think they don’t have to conform to those items in the standard that aren’t strictly regulatory.” He continued, “Our audits aren’t a regulatory assessment; they’re designed to determine conformance to recognized industry best practices. For example, SMS has been a major focus of our audit programs long before the Part 5 mandate went into effect.” Wyvern’s Bates explains that there is a wide variance in scope, depth, objectives, and outcomes of these industry safety audits. Bates said, as an example, “Wyvern is a deep dive versus a competitor’s shallow two-day touch and go. The idea of having hundreds of standards to cover in two days is not a good model,” Bates continued. “The evaluation should be risk-based. Wyvern focuses on Safety Culture Analysis and feedback, Human Performance Analysis and feedback, Flight Safety Foundation’s Basic Aviation Risks, SMS, Compliance management, and a discrete list of standards we feel are ‘killer items.’” Bates believes an audit provides great value to the operator with a couple of caveats. “For the air charter operator, the regulators require them to have a basic and somewhat limited professional management structure, an SMS manual, an operations manual, an aircraft maintenance program manual, et cetera.” He continued, “So, these are the basic things that IS-BAO and Wyvern require as well. However, as indicated above, Wyvern deep dives into specific areas based on risk as identified by the industry.” As an example, Wyvern benchmarks against best practices and safety issues identified by the Flight Safety Foundation. To keep operators honest, Bates feels that today’s best audit programs have advanced beyond simple “box ticking” exercises. “They are only as good as the effort they put into these programs. Operators tend to ‘slip’ back into ‘normal’ mode after the traditional audit, which is why Wyvern implemented the Flight Leader Program that requires quarterly monitoring and coaching to ensure continued alignment with best practices and professional codes of practice.” Of importance, Bates added, “Wyvern also looks at the degree to which key personnel, pilots, and aircraft maintenance teams are dedicated to that operator versus freelance persons serving many operators.” This has been identified as a big risk in the air charter industry. In fact, according to Bates, charter customers should pick only those operators that employ full-time dedicated management personnel in key roles such as director of operations, director of maintenance, and safety manager—this is considered a positive attribute. Bates said there are many “red flags” to look out for when choosing a charter company. In addition to “freelance” personnel, Bates recommends at a minimum that the operator should hold at least one voluntary certificate, such as Wyvern Wingman, IS-BAO, or an ASCF audit. In addition, the operator should have an accountable executive who is available to talk about and promote the company’s safety culture. Bates also said customers should avoid flying on aircraft that are more than 20 years old or those operating with a single pilot. JetChecked’s Ruic recommends avoiding operators that have a history of FAA violations. During his research, he found one operator that was fined for operating more than 1,000 flights without a qualified chief pilot and many others with maintenance violations for flying unairworthy aircraft. In addition, Ruic cautions customers to avoid those operators that “hide behind logos, badges, and marketing” or rely on contract pilots who may lack recent experience on the aircraft type. Ruic has identified a few additional positive attributes of good charter operators. Ruic places emphasis on pilot training (using simulators), proficiency, and currency. Additionally, those operators should invest heavily in maintenance and should be willing to discuss past safety issues and corrective actions. Again, Ruic said, “Treat safety as a living, breathing commitment, not a marketing slogan.” He continued, saying, “That is why JetChecked does not believe in a one-time pass/fail sticker. We believe in constant, in-depth vetting so that every passenger can fly with the confidence that their operator is safe today, tomorrow, and always.” https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-07-18/third-party-safety-audits-worthwhile-or-illusion-safety American Airlines’ 1,000th jet touches down. Here’s how it got to the fleet milestone The Fort Worth-based airline announced it received its 1,000th mainline aircraft last week. Fort Worth-based American Airlines on Tuesday announced it has reached a grand milestone: the addition of the 1,000th plane to its mainline fleet. The aircraft, a premium Boeing 787-9 also known as the 787-9 Dreamliner, arrived at DFW International Airport on Aug. 29, American said. It includes American’s recently announced Flagship Suite. The airline has received eight 787-9 aircraft since April and said it expects to have 33 on hand by the end of 2025. It’s the first time that American has hit quadruple digits on aircraft counts, at least for planes in its mainline fleet, which does not include regional aircraft. American has hovered at just under 1,000 since the 2013 merger with US Airways brought its count to 970. Before the merger, American had about 614 jets in its mainline fleet. The 787-9P is currently used to fly three routes: American has said it plans to fly the 787-9P from Philadelphia to Zurich, as well as a route from DFW Airport to Brisbane, Australia. The 244-seat plane was officially rolled out in May with the purpose of providing customers with a luxurious ride on long-haul international flights, The Dallas Morning News reported. Each of the aircraft have 51 Flagship Suites with amenities like chaise lounge seating, privacy doors and expanded personal storage. Passengers who purchase a Flagship fare receive a dual-sided cool touch pillow, a duvet, slippers and noise-canceling earphones. The aircraft also includes eight Flagship Suite Preferred seats and 32 revamped Premium Economy seats. “We are excited to grow our fleet, adding even more aircraft that offer customers a premium travel experience,” Heather Garboden, American’s chief customer officer, said in a statement. “Looking forward to our next 100 years, we are focused on elevating and reimagining the onboard cabin experience along with every aspect of the customer travel journey.” American Airlines’ regional fleet will include about 566 jets at the end of 2025, the company said. American exclusively flies Embraer and Bombardier jets with its regional airlines, including the wholly owned Envoy, PSA and Piedmont companies. With 1,000 jets, American Airlines is the second-largest operator of commercial aircraft in the world, behind United Airlines’ 1,044, according to Cirium. Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has about 991 jets in its fleet, according to Planespotters.net and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines operates 810 jets, all Boeing 737 models. China Southern is the largest non-U.S. airline with about 850 jets. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2025/09/02/american-airlines-1000th-jet-touches-down-heres-how-it-got-to-the-fleet-milestone/ ISASI 2025 September 29 – October 2, 2025 Denver Hotel and Conference Center 3801 Quebec St Denver, Colorado ISASI 2025 will be here soon, and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Denver.
