AI gives wings to disabled kids’ fancies

Kochi: Some of them were partially blind, others were on wheelchairs and some could not make out what the fuss was all about.
But all the disabled children cheered in unison as the Air India flight took off with over 350 special passengers for a one-hour sortie. Some also squealed in fear.
The ‘Flight with Memories –AI 2011’ to Kanyakumari and back organised by Air India and the Rotary club of Cochin Airport to commemorate World Disabled Day that falls on December 3 was indeed a memorable one for the children as well as the elders.
A team of 30 other kids were also part of the trip. “We included them so that they could understand the problems faced by disabled children,” said an AI official.
