Whether you are an industry professional, an avid traveller, or simply passionate about the art of hospitality, this newsletter will be your gateway to a world of inspiration, knowledge and unforgettable experiences.
In the ever-changing world of travel, Akasa Air stands out by making inclusivity a top priority. The airline has taken a remarkable step towards enhancing accessibility for its passengers with visual impairments. Recently, they introduced Braille menu cards as part of their inflight dining service, Café Akasa. In partnership with The Xavier’s Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged (XRCVC), Akasa Air designed these Braille menus to provide a seamless dining experience for all travelers.
These Braille menu cards are both thoughtful and practical. They offer a range of meal options, snacks, and beverages that passengers can easily order during their flight. By incorporating Braille, Akasa Air empowers passengers with visual impairments to independently browse and select their meal preferences, enriching their overall travel experience.
This initiative is in line with Akasa Air's ongoing commitment to creating a unified flying experience for all passengers. Earlier this year, they introduced Braille versions of their inflight safety manuals, which provide detailed safety instructions in both English and Hindi, ensuring a secure journey for travelers with visual impairments.
Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing & Experience Officer at Akasa Air, expressed the airline's dedication to social responsibility, economic sustainability, and empathy. He emphasized how the Braille menu cards allow passengers with visual impairments to access and enjoy refreshments from Café Akasa, one of the airline's standout offerings. Akasa Air extends its heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Taraporevala and the entire XRCVC team for their unwavering support in achieving the goal of inclusive travel.
Dr. Sam Taraporevala, Executive Director of XRCVC, shares the commitment to creating an inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities. The Braille menu cards are designed with large fonts and synchronized Braille to cater to the needs of passengers with visual impairments. Dr. Taraporevala hopes that other service providers will take inspiration from Akasa Air and work towards creating inclusive and accessible solutions for customers with diverse needs.
In addition to these inclusive measures, Café Akasa, Akasa Air's inflight meal service, has recently refreshed its menu. It now boasts over 50 meal options, including healthy, festive, gourmet, and fusion choices. These meals are exclusively curated by renowned chefs from across India, providing passengers with a delightful gourmet experience during their journey.
Akasa Air, India's fastest-growing airline, has been working diligently to expand its network to offer seamless connectivity at affordable prices. They've launched new routes and increased flight frequencies from key metro and non-metro destinations. For example, with 200 weekly departures, Akasa Air connects Mumbai to 12 domestic destinations, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Lucknow, Goa, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Varanasi, Bagdogra, Kochi, and Guwahati.
This initiative by Akasa Air is a testament to their commitment to creating a warm, comfortable, and efficient flying experience for all passengers. The Boeing 737 MAX aircraft used by the airline provide ample legroom and come equipped with USB ports in most aircraft, allowing passengers to charge their devices on the go. Akasa Air's enhanced Café Akasa menu, with over 60 meal options, offers an indulgent gourmet experience in the skies.
Moreover, Akasa Air understands the importance of being pet-friendly, allowing customers to travel with their pets. And to ensure the safety of all passengers, Akasa Air has introduced safety instruction cards in Braille for individuals with visual impairments.
Since its launch in August 2022, Akasa Air has rapidly grown, carrying over 3.5 million revenue passengers and operating over 900 weekly flights. Their network now covers 35 unique routes connecting 16 cities across India.
Akasa Air's commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity is commendable. With these initiatives, they're not just an airline; they're a caring and considerate companion for travelers of all backgrounds.
