The Braille in-flight safety manual provides an explanation of the safety instructions, in English and Hindi. These are provided to passengers onboard upon request and cover detailed instructions on seatbelt operation, location of emergency exits and life jackets, tactile diagrams that help orient passengers to aircraft and aircraft positions and other essential safety information.
