IATA DAQCP Inspection Preparation & De/Anti-Icing Compliance Consulting
Preparing for an IATA DAQCP (De/Anti-Icing Quality Control Pool) inspection requires more than documentation readiness — it demands structured processes, operational control, trained personnel, and regulator-aligned implementation.
Aero Support Group provides specialized DAQCP inspection preparation and compliance consulting to airlines, ground handling organizations, and de/anti-icing service providers worldwide.
We ensure your organization is fully aligned with:
- IATA DAQCP standards
- IGOM operational requirements
- Quality control and oversight frameworks
- Documentation and reporting systems
- Inspection readiness and findings closure processes
What is DAQCP?
The IATA De/Anti-Icing Quality Control Pool (DAQCP) is a global quality assurance program designed to ensure standardized, safe, and compliant de/anti-icing operations across airports worldwide.
Non-conformities during DAQCP inspections can lead to:
- Operational disruptions
- Financial penalties
- Reputational damage
- Increased regulatory oversight
- Safety risks during winter operations
A structured preparation program significantly reduces these risks.
