Akasa Air Collaborates with Xavier Resource Center for the Visually Impaired for Braille Safety Manual and Inflight Menu

Rooted in the values ​​of inclusivity and empathy, Akasa Air has consistently aimed to provide a unified travel experience for all passengers since its inception. In collaboration with the Xavier Resource Center for the Visually Impaired (XRCVC), the airline has taken steps to improve accessibility for the visually impaired. By developing Braille versions of both the in-flight safety manual and meal menu, Akasa Air ensures that visually impaired customers can independently understand safety instructions and select meals, thereby improving their overall travel experience. .

In January 2023, Akasa Air introduced its inflight safety manual in Braille, offering detailed instructions in both English and Hindi. Available upon request, the manual covers essential information such as seat belt operation, the location of emergency exits and life jackets, and includes tactile diagrams to help passengers find their way inside the aircraft. In a subsequent initiative, in October 2023, Akasa Air launched Braille menu cards for Café Akasa, its in-flight dining service. These carefully designed cards allow passengers to independently explore food, snack and beverage options during their flight. Committed to the cause of inclusive and accessible air travel, Akasa Air is committed to introducing more initiatives, continuing its journey towards making air travel universally adaptable.
