This authorization allowed the company to compete for services to other airlines outside its parent group. In May 2014, the company attained ACC3/RA3 European Union ground handling certification. In August 2014, DAS Handling Limited successfully completed the International Air Transport Association Safety Audit for Ground Operations. Following that successful audit, the company became one of 154 ground service providers worldwide who had successfully registered under the IATA ISAGO programme at that time.
