New Delhi: In view of high pollution levels in Delhi, private carrier AirAsia India has decided to provide pollution resistant masks to its Delhi-bound passengers.
The airline said it is joining hands with health technology start-up Mfine to provide pollution resistant masks to its passengers taking flights to Delhi from Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Kolkata.
The step is taken in view of high pollution levels in Delhi, AirAsia said.
The overall Delhi air quality index (AQI) in the city currently is 494.
According to the monitoring agency SAFAR this index measures the levels of airborne PM 2.5 – particles that can reach deep into the lungs.
In winters, there’s a dip in the minimum temperature that makes the air cold and heavy, making it easier for accumulation of pollutants close to the ground. This is intended to help the guests cope with the changing environmental conditions in the city and stay healthy , the airline said in a statement.
The campaign started on November 19, 2019, and will end on November 29, 2019, it added.
