In collaboration with XRCVC, the airline's safety manual is available in English and Hindi, offering essential information on seatbelt operations, emergency exit locations, life jackets and tactile diagrams providing orientation to the aircraft.

Introducing Café Akasa’s menu card in Braille. Developed in partnership with @XRCVC (Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged), this menu card has been designed to ensure customers with visual impairments have a seamless experience on board. Our new Braille menu cards are thoughtfully designed and feature a variety of options including meal choices, snacks, 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. Read more: bit.ly/3RWL0oe #AkasaAir #ItsYourSky #CafeAkasa #WorldSightDay
