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，发布了一项新服务以确保女性乘客不会被分配在中间座位。这是今年3月在印度国内航线采取的一系列措施中的一部分，目的就是保护单独出行的女性乘客。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倡议会确保女性乘客被分配到靠窗或靠过道的座位，即使乘客在此前没有选到自己满意的位置。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.
在飞机抵达时，Vistara员工将会在行李提取处为女性乘客提供帮助。同时也会帮助女性预约机场出租车。
The airline claims the project encourages women to expand their horizons -- and feel comfortable doing so.
这家航空公司声称，这项举措鼓励女性去开阔视野，同时享受舒适的旅途。'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·查哈在一篇声明中表示：“女性对促进经济增长和维持社会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，该公司计划在不久的将来走出印度，将此项服务推广到国际航线。
