Indian airline major, IndiGo has introduced stair lifts for passengers suffering from reduced mobility at the Indian airports which do not have ramp facility. This announcement has drawn commendation from all quarters. It’s indeed a touching and sensitive gesture from IndiGo airlines directed at differently abled passengers. IndiGo enjoys the solitary status of being the only airlines in the world having the facility of a boarding ramp for all its flights. Wheelchairs use the ramp to get right inside the aircraft without hassles. IndiGo’s current decision to induct stair lifts is consistent with International standards and trends. This would definitely benefit the elderly, sick and the injured air passengers. The technology and equipment for this noble endeavor was supplied by Vin Grace, an Indian company specializing in equipment for people with special needs.
Lately the Airline has been rethinking on its existing airline facilities, operations and procedures regarding non-ambulatory travelers. The maximum allowed number of passengers having severe reduced mobility per flight is limited to four. This is in keeping with international norms which require that the number of individuals with reduced mobility should not be more than the personnel trained to assist with evacuation. IndiGo’s conviction is that this is a feasible and realistic figure.
