Air Carrier Audit Intelligence for Tour Operators
Make more informed decisions when reviewing, approving and monitoring air carriers.
Bostonair’s Travel Database gives travel organisations access to air carrier audit information, operator grading, audit status updates and key risk intelligence in one organised platform. It has been designed to support carrier approval, due diligence, safety oversight and operational risk management by giving teams clearer information when assessing air carriers.
Whether your organisation reviews multiple operators on a regular basis or only needs access to audits from time to time, the Travel Database provides flexible access options to support the way you manage air carrier risk.
Access existing Bostonair air carrier audits where available, helping reduce duplication and speed up the review process.
Choose the right depth of review based on the level of risk, the information available and the nature of the carrier assessment.
Track audit activity, monitor progress and receive updates when audits are completed.
Benefit from guidance, procedure support, regular check ins and wider industry updates through Collaboration Group membership.
The Travel Database is Bostonair’s dedicated air carrier audit and risk information service.
Through the platform, clients can access completed Bostonair audits, commission new reviews, monitor audit progress and view key operator information. This helps reduce manual tracking, improve visibility and support a more consistent approach to air carrier oversight.
Depending on the access option selected, the service can include completed audit reports, carrier grading, audit status information, progress tracking, completion notifications, renewal prompts, industry risk updates and Bostonair support.
Air carrier approval decisions often involve multiple factors, from safety and compliance to operational and reputational risk. The Travel Database helps bring relevant audit information and risk updates together, making it easier for teams to review operators in a structured and consistent way.
The Travel Database is available through two access routes: Collaboration Group Membership and Individual Access.
Collaboration Group Membership is suited to organisations that regularly review, approve or monitor air carriers and need ongoing visibility of audit status, carrier risk information and industry updates.
Members receive wider Travel Database access, including completed audits, carrier grading, audit tracking, notifications and key risk updates, with ongoing Bostonair support to help manage carrier oversight more efficiently.
Individual Access is designed for organisations that need to purchase or commission audits on a more flexible, case by case basis.
This option is suitable for occasional audit requirements or specific carrier reviews, without committing to an annual membership. Bostonair support is provided in relation to the audit being purchased or commissioned.
The Travel Database helps ensure air carrier selection and approval decisions are backed by structured audit information.
Teams can view audit status, grading information and available operator reports in one place, reducing the need for manual tracking.
By bringing audit reports, status information and risk updates together, the platform supports the assessment of operational, safety, compliance and reputational risk.
Initial Public Domain Review
A Level 1 audit uses publicly available information and does not involve direct contact with the operator. It is suitable where an initial risk review is required and enough public information is available to support the assessment.
Timescale: 7 working days
Maximum validity: 1 year
Detailed operator review
A Level 2 audit provides a more detailed review of the operator. It includes a Bostonair questionnaire and supporting documentation, allowing auditors to assess areas such as operational oversight, safety management and compliance.
Timescale: 12 weeks
Maximum validity: 2 years
Enhanced high assurance review
A Level 3 audit is used where a more in depth assessment is required, such as following Level 2 escalation, a recent incident, key findings or missing documentation. As an on site physical audit, it requires operator agreement, auditor availability, travel and accommodation planning.
