AAI launches SkyFit app to help aviation professionals tackle occupational stress

September 28, 2019: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has launched the SkyFit mobile application to address the challenges brought about by occupational stress in aviation personnel.

SkyFit is devised to address the occupational stress of aviation personnel like air traffic controllers, pilots, cabin crews, ground handlers, and even air passengers.

Erratic shift timings and trans-meridian flight results in asynchrony between aviation personnel’s daily rhythms.

This lack of synchrony results in shift-lag syndrome (due to changes in work schedule) and jet-lag syndrome (due to trans-meridian flights) severely affects the body clock specifically airline pilots, cabin crew, air traffic controllers and air passengers.

Developed by #AAI, SkyFit focuses on solving the occupational stress faced by aviation professionals like pilots ATCOs, cabin crew and also passengers through simple breathing techniques made in consultation with Yogic experts & senior medical consultants.

Long term exposure to the stress is posing severe health issues like hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, diabetes, peptic ulcers and psychoneurotic disorders for the people employed in aviation.
