పాత విమానాలకు ఎయిర్ ఇండియా రిపేర్లు! - సేవల్లో పునరుద్ధరణ

సేవలు నిలిపివేసిన విమానాలను తిరిగి నడిపించేందుకు ఎయిర్ ఇండియా నడుం బిగించింది. నిధుల కొరతతో నేలకే పరిమితమైన 17 విమానాలను అక్టోబర్ చివరి నాటికి పునరుద్ధరించాలని భావిస్తోంది.

ఎయిర్ ఇండియా

చాలా కాలంగా నేలకే పరిమితమైన 17 విమానాల కార్యకలాపాలను పునరుద్ధరించనున్నట్లు ఎయిర్ ఇండియా ఛైర్మన్ అశ్విని లోహాని వెల్లడించారు.

ఈ విమానాల్లో 4 నెలల నుంచి ఏడాదిలోపు కార్యకలాపాలకు దూరమైనవి ఉన్నాయి. ఆర్థిక ఇబ్బందులతో వాటిని నిర్వహించలేక కార్యకలాపాలు నిలిపేసింది ఎయిర్ ఇండియా.

17 విమానాల్లో ఎనిమిదింటిని ఆగస్టు చివరి నాటికి.. మిగతా 9 విమానాలను అక్టోబర్ చివరి నాటికి పువరుద్ధరించాలని ఎయిర్ ఇండియా లక్ష్యంగా పెట్టుకుంది.

ఎయిర్ ఇండియా నుంచి మరిన్ని అంతర్జాతీయ విమాన సేవలు ప్రారంభిస్తామని.. పౌర విమానయాన మంత్రి సర్దీప్ సింగ్ పూరి కొన్ని వారల క్రితం ప్రకటన చేశారు. ఆ తర్వాతే ఎయిర్ ఇండియా ఈ పునరుద్ధరణ ప్రణాళిక ప్రకటించడం గమనార్హం.

2018-19 ఆర్థిక సంవత్సరంలో ఎయిర్ ఇండియా రూ.7,600 కోట్ల నష్టాన్ని మూటగట్టుకుంది. అదే సమయానికి సంస్థ పూర్తి రుణ భారం రూ.58,300 కోట్లుగా ఉంది.

LEAD IN:
Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare.
In many countries, newborns are screened for a list of conditions.
In the United Kingdom, there are claims that list doesn't go far enough.
STORYLINE:
At the age of seven Alex Hunt was diagnosed with Adrenoleukodystrophy, or ALD - a rare genetic degenerative brain condition.
He battled the disease for 12 years, but died in 2012.
According to his mum, Sara Hunt, if the condition had been identified earlier, Alex's prognosis may have been different.
"If he'd been diagnosed earlier, for example at birth, or before his symptoms - his visible symptoms - had started, he could've had treatment with a bone marrow transplant, and his outlook would've been completely different," Sara Hunt explains.
Alex Hunt wasn't the only member of Sara's family to suffer from the disease.
Her younger son Aiden was tested for it as baby, and also found to be a carrier.
"We were also told that there was great hope for him because he could be monitored. He had a successful bone marrow transplant, and he's now 19, at university, and living a lovely life - one that I wish Alex had had," Hunt says.
In many countries, children are screened both in utero and at five days after birth for genetic conditions.
The list and number of conditions that hospitals check for varies, country by country.
In the UK, most hospitals check for nine conditions.
In the United States it's typically 59, while in Italy it's 43, and in Poland it's 30.
Some doctors say the UK needs to do more.
"There is insufficient focus on the wider benefits of new-born screening, so there's benefits around social outcomes, emotional outcomes, and also very practical outcomes. And therefore we think it's time to look at these criteria again, and make sure that they're fit for purpose in the modern world," says Dr Jayne Spink, CEO of charity Genetic Alliance UK.
Screening for extra conditions could be done using genome sequencing technology, much of which was developed by UK researchers.
Public health officials in the United Kingdom say they will consider whether to screen for more conditions at a meeting later this year.
There are some concerns that adding new conditions to the list could worry expectant parents.
But for Sara Hunt, the benefits of more screening are plain to see.
