Who developed SkyFit and for what?

The eBook 'SkyFit' has been developed by the business development team of the AAI. The eBook addresses problems arising out of the occupational stress faced by aviation professionals like pilots, ATCOs, cabin crew and also air passengers by way of simple breathing techniques formulated in consultation with Yogic experts and senior medical consultants. SkyFit mobile application is available on google play store and iOS. The application is devised to address the occupational stress of the personnel in aviation, be it air traffic controllers, pilots, cabin crews, ground handlers, air passengers etc. The unprecedented growth in aviation has posed a severe threat to the safety of aviation, in terms of the pressure created by capacity vs demand, on the existing infrastructure and resources. The worst-hit of all is the human resource. A team from AAI has also participated in 'World Routes 2019' an international event held in Australia recently.
