Akasa Air, India’s fastest-growing airline, proudly reaffirms its dedication to accessibility and inclusivity by continuing to offer Braille in-flight safety manuals and menu cards across its network. These initiatives reflect Akasa Air’s unwavering commitment to offering equal access and a cohesive flying experience for all its passengers.
Since its inception, Akasa Air has prioritized the needs of all passengers by integrating accessibility into its core service philosophy. The airline’s efforts to offer Braille materials on board stand as a testament to its belief that air travel should be inclusive, equitable, and enjoyable for everyone.
In-flight Safety Manual in Braille
The Braille in-flight safety manual provides an explanation of the safety instructions, in English and Hindi. These are provided to passengers onboard upon request and cover detailed instructions on:
- Seatbelt operation.
- Location of emergency exits and life jackets.
- Tactile diagrams that help orient passengers to aircraft positions.
Braille Menu Cards on Café Akasa
The Braille in-flight menu cards are thoughtfully designed and feature a variety of options, including meal choices, snacks, and beverages available to order while on the flight. By incorporating Braille, passengers with visual impairments can independently peruse and select their meal preferences, enhancing their overall travel experience.
Akasa Air’s cabin crew remains dedicated to assisting passengers who require these resources, in line with the airline’s continuous endeavour for compassionate and empathetic service.
Collaboration with XRCVC
These Braille materials were developed in collaboration with The Xavier’s Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged (XRCVC), a department of St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. XRCVC is a national-level support and advocacy centre for persons with disabilities, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and usability.
