TATA SIA Airline Ltd, Vistara has offered to fly doctors and nurses representing government organisations for free across the nation keeping in mind the huge and appalling spike in COVID-19 cases. The airline took an applaudable stride by joining the national efforts to battle against the deadly virus.
Vistara wrote to Usha Padhee, who is a Joint Secretary at the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation, stating that it has stepped forward to help the government organisations and hospitals who are working relentlessly in this harsh second wave and to those who have an emergency need for air logistics.
“We are also happy to fly doctors and nurses representing government organisations, free of cost, across our domestic network, and also fly them back on the conclusion of their service. The personnel who avail of this service will have to mandatorily follow all the travel related SOPs and present relevant identification and documentation,” the airline said
The airline further stated that frontliners will be accommodated on a first-come-first-serve basis, due to the limited availability of seats. The ministry tweeted, “Wish to commend generous offer by Vistara to Govt Organisations and Hospitals in immediate need of air logistics. They’ve also offered to fly Doctors & Nurses representing Govt organisations, free of cost, across the domestic network. Let’s fight the pandemic together”.
