Emirates, one of the two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), announced it is all set to officially become the world’s first ‘Autism Certified Airline’.

The initiative aims at allowing the customers with autism and sensory sensitivities to experience seamless services and personalised hospitality, making travel more accessible for all.

The inaugural designation is set to be formally awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards, in the coming months.

Over 30,000 Emirates cabin crew and ground staff are undergoing initial training for this purpose.

Emirates also plans to roll out new standards and services that would improve the on ground and inflight travel experience for both customers on the autism spectrum and their families and companions, to be announced later in the year, it said in a statement.

Great. The bankrupt SriLankan with its constant delays and persistent technical defects is still light years away from something so innovative.

That's great. This Airlines can carry most of our Members of Parliament who appear to have Autism.
