Vistara provides sanitary pads on domestic flights

New Delhi, March 8 2019: Indian carrier, Vistara,  has launched an initiative today -- #PadsOnBoard --  whereby it will provide sanitary pads onboard its flights to women travellers on request, starting on  International Women’s Day on 8 March 2019.
This initiative makes Vistara the first Indian airline to offer sanitary pads on flights within India. The airline will provide ISO 9001:2015 certified, bio-degradable and organic sanitary napkins made from plant-based fibres that are free of plastic, toxins and perfume.
Vistara’s cabin crew will make in-flight announcements on all flights to create awareness among travellers that sanitary pads are now available onboard for customers to freely ask for it if they need it.
Says  Deepa Chadha, Senior Vice President – HR & Corporate Affairs: “At Vistara, everything we do stems from the concept of ‘intuitive thoughtfulness’. It is this simple, humane perspective that makes us different from any other airline, and the reason that Vistara is the first choice for air travellers in India today. The initiative to provide sanitary pads to our customers is a meaningful one that reflects our core philosophy that ‘small things make a big difference’. As a woman, I feel a greater sense of pride for being part of an organization that’s providing such an essential amenity to customers – something that will help so many travellers in times of need.”
