Various measures have been discussed in past like improving job planning and reliability of the work systems, improving the work environment, reduction of working hours etc. Airports Authority of India (AAI) has developed simple breathing exercises, in consultation with Dr Ashok Bhatt Medical consultant from AGP Breathworks and coordination with experts who have practiced these ancient techniques from yogic traditions, for decades and have found encouraging results in managing the stress of the aviation personnel, by just improving the way we breathe. AAI would like to share these unique and effective techniques, through its programme SKYFIT, with the aviation world, to cope up with the challenges of managing stress of pilots, cabin crew, air traffic controllers and above all air passengers. Speaking on the occasion, Shri.Suresh Prabhu, applauded the visionary initiative of Skyfit by AAI Stated that when India is poised to cater to the next 6 billion people and become a global leader, it also has to be equipped to address the stress level of the Human force and their quality of life.

Penang’s state executive councillor for Tourism Development, Heritage, Arts & Culture, the Honourable Mr Yeoh Soon Hin will be attending the New Delhi leg where he will be having official meetings with tourism authorities and key players in India.

“This mission is joined by some of Penang’s finest offerings in the hospitality, travel and events sectors, and will showcase the best of what Penang can offer to the Indian market,” he added.

Penang is world-class travel destination, one that is famed for its unique offerings of an modern international island city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lush rainforests, beautiful hill station, shopping galore and fabulous food.
