Vistara will become the first Indian airline to offer free sanitary pads “on request” to women travellers on domestic flights from International Women’s Day on March 8. “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 said in a statement on Wednesday.
From this Friday, the full-service carrier’s cabin crew will make in-flight announcements on all flights to create awareness that sanitary pads are now available on board for customers to freely ask for it if they need it.
