Meanwhile, in other global aviation developments, a notable feature is being introduced allowing female passengers to book seats next to other women. This initiative, aimed at increasing comfort and safety for female travelers, reflects a growing trend in customer-oriented service enhancements across the airline industry.
Additionally, the aviation sector is buzzing with news about the upcoming merger of Air India and Vistara, anticipated to conclude post-Diwali.
