Air Asia to give out masks on flights to Delhi
NEW DELHI: To combat the deteriorating air quality in the capital, AirAsia India Private Limited (AAIPL) will distribute pollution masks to passengers boarding flights to Delhi from other metros like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Kolkata.
AAIPL COO Sanjay Kumar said: “Our primary objective is to serve guests travelling with AirAsia India with the best in-flight experience. With this initiative, we take a step forward to upkeep the health of our guests’ post their flying experience with us. This is for them to have adequate support to avoid health-related issues due to the air pollution in Delhi.”

The campaign will commence on Tuesday and end on November 29, 2019.
Mounting pollution over the years is increasingly forcing airlines to take steps accordingly. In the winter of 2017, US carrier United Airlines had suspended its daily Newark-Delhi nonstop for a few days due to the “public health emergency” caused by searing pollution levels in the Indian capital.
