From an Ambitious Idea to Broad Global Impact

The story of the International Aviation Services Organization (IASO) began in 2015 in the United States. A distinguished group of international experts, led by Dr. Munir Khalifa, came together to establish a neutral global non-profit authority with the ultimate goal of advancing aviation service standards. From day one, IASO has been distinguished by its complete neutrality and objectivity in evaluation and standard-setting, independent of commercial interests, making it a trusted reference for the industry.
