Various international regulatory bodies assess these service providers directly /indirectly.

This was mainly because of the repetitive reports from internal micro Audit report by the strategic business units Quality assurance sections. The findings indicated that some equipment serving at the air sides were found with overdue maintenance schedule, missing safety items, which could hamper the operational dependability and on time performance. The research method used included literature review, data collection, interviews and observation. A total number of 105 questionnaires were distributed. The collected 95 questionnaires replies were analyzed. Factor analysis was used in determining the significance of the variables collected as per the Likert scale.
