印度一家航空公司爲單飛女性提供選座服務

Delhi-based carrier Vistara has launched a new service that guarantees women won't be allocated a middle seat. It's part of a series of measures introduced in March 2017 by the domestic airline to protect solo female fliers.

日前，印度德里一家名叫Vistara的航空公司，發佈了一項新服務以確保女性乘客不會被分配在中間座位。這是今年3月在印度國內航線採取的一系列措施中的一部分，目的就是保護單獨出行的女性乘客。

Vistara says its Woman Flyer initiative will "ensure only window or aisle seats are assigned to solo women travelers" -- even if customers do not select preferred seats in advance.

Vistara方面表示，其Woman Flyer倡議會確保女性乘客被分配到靠窗或靠過道的座位，即使乘客在此前沒有選到自己滿意的位置。

Upon arrival, Vistara staff will be available at baggage reclaim to offer assistance to female travelers with luggage. Staff will also be on hand to help women book airport-authorized taxis.

在飛機抵達時，Vistara員工將會在行李提取處爲女性乘客提供幫助。同時也會幫助女性預約機場出租車。

The airline claims the project encourages women to expand their horizons -- and feel comfortable doing so.

這家航空公司聲稱，這項舉措鼓勵女性去開闊視野，同時享受舒適的旅途。

'Women are a major force that makes economies stronger and societies healthier', Deepa Chadha, Vistara's senior vice president, explained in a statement.

Vistara副主席迪帕·查哈在一篇聲明中表示：“女性對促進經濟增長和維持社會健康有着重要的作用。”

Vistara says it plans to expand beyond India in the near future -- and intends to provide this service on international flights.

Vistara表示，該公司計劃在不久的將來走出印度，將此項服務推廣到國際航線。
