The pandemic has affected seafarers the world over and owing to lockdowns and travel restrictions across the country, they have been away from their families for months. AirAsia India is proud of our Umeed Ki Udaan initiative with more flights on the horizon as we look forward to working with other like-minded individuals and organizations keen on supporting migrant communities while exploring other charter flight opportunities.“
