New Delhi: It was an unforgettable Children's Day for 18 special children who had their maiden flying experience in an Air India plane on the occasion.
13 young students from Asha School for Special children, run by Army Wives Welfare Association and five from Government Blind School for Boys boarded Air India's Delhi-Lucknow flight (AI 411) from Terminal 3 of the IGI airport as part of a programme organised annually by the national carrier as its corporate social responsibility.
As soon as the Airbus 320 took off for Chaudhary Charan Singh airport Lucknow at 8.30 AM, the children started looking out of the window in excitement.
The children attracted attention of the co-passengers, who also joined the children in their excitement.
The national carrier organises such joy trips for special children every year as part of its corporate social responsibility.
Meanwhile, Jet Airways also organised a similar joy ride for 80 underprivileged and special children in Mumbai.
The airline operated a 'Flight of Fantasy' with a Boeing 737-700 aircraft. Jet Airways Flight of Fantasy endeavours to open up the world of aviation to children who are less advantaged.
