"Stress-Free Sky": Passengers with autism now receive anti-stress kits on Smartavia flights.

In the anti-stress set includes A sleeping mask, a toy with "bumps," and silicone earplugs that mold to the ear and reduce noise levels to a comfortable level.

For people with autism spectrum disorder, flying is often stressful, triggered by loud noises, engine noise, new surroundings, and large crowds of people during landing.

The anti-stress kit was developed with the participation of the Anton Is Here Foundation, which has supported people with autism since 2013. The project's creators took into account the wishes of nearly 500 people—people with autism and their families.

"This is the first such kit in the history of Russian civil aviation, created specifically to make air travel comfortable for passengers with autism," told in the fund. 

To receive a free set, please mark the box when purchasing your ticket. The first run, commissioned by Smartavia, includes 1300 sets.
