Air Canada (Peru’s Branch)

Air Canada’s internal audit of specialised airport services in Peru. Our firm assisted Air Canada (AC) with an internal audit of its specialised airport services providers (SEAs) to comply with the requirements of a Peruvian Aeronautical Regulation, focusing on regulatory compliance. Enhancing compliance with Air Canada’s security program and Peruvian regulations: Our team reviewed the current procedures of the SEAs to identify observations and opportunities for improvement relating to the services provided by the SEAs in compliance with Air Canada’s Security Program and the requirements of the Peruvian Aeronautical Regulation. Audit findings and corrective actions for compliance: Observations found during the audit by the authority were listed and emails were sent to the SEAs requesting the filing of corrective action plans. A report was prepared with the results of the audit for submission to the Peruvian Aviation Authority (DGAC). Leading airline in Canadian and global markets: Air Canada is Canada’s largest airline and the largest provider of scheduled passenger services in the Canadian market, the Canada-U.S. transborder market and in the international market to and from Canada. Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance providing the world’s most comprehensive air transportation network. Ensuring regulatory adherence for aviation safety: This case is relevant because it reinforces the importance of complying with Air Canada’s Security Program and the Peruvian Aeronautical Regulation, with the DGAC in favour of the aircraft’s operational safety, as well as the safety of the passengers or cargo. Latest development: The audit has been completed, and the airline has sent our observations to the suppliers, who are now preparing their corrective action plans according to the process applicable to these matters.
