They've done, and continue to do, a great job! And, of course, a very warm welcome to our new colleagues!"Campbell also wrote about awareness of mental health, saying, "You may also have seen items on workplace or around the offices raising awareness of mental health as part of Wellness Week."In addition, he said there were also sessions on yoga, meditation, webinars, and in-person activities at several locations. "As well as raising awareness, we want to reduce any stigma around seeking help, as all of us need support now and then," he added.Full-service carrier Vistara on May 4 became the first Indian airline to operate a commercial domestic flight on a wide-body aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).According to the airline, this historic feat was achieved on Vistara's brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, flying from Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), Delhi, to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai, using a blend of 17 per cent SAF with 83 per cent conventional jet fuel.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
