These jabs can then be administered under medical supervision to the company's staff.As per industry insiders, vaccination is being looked as the only possible way out of the current crises facing the sector.The ongoing second wave has had a devastating impact on the already fragile industry.Specifically, the contact intensive nature of the sector has weaned away even the pent up travel demand.The Bangalore headquartered airline AirAsia India is a joint venture between Tata Sons and AirAsia Investment.It commenced operations on June 12th 2014 and flies to 17 destinations across India with 32 Airbus A320 aircraft.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
