Soon angry flyers to be treated with music therapy at Indian airports

According to recent reports, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) is to start an exclusive radio channel for 29 airports across India. It is expected to start from year-end. Pune airport that received more than 8 million passengers in the last financial year will be one of the airports to try music therapy.
A statement from AAI suggests that soothing music should help passengers get over the angst of waiting at the airport, and make their journey more pleasant. A private agency is being hired to help with this project, and the airports are being chosen based on their passenger footfall. AAI is yet to finalise the songs, but are definitely aiming to include soothing music to their playlists. Pune airport was earlier declared a silent airport by the AAI, which meant that microphone announcements are at a minimum here.

Among the airports chosen for the project, you have Udaipur, Chennai, Guwahati, Goa, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar, Ranchi, Raipur, Indore and Madurai.
According to an airport official, “The radio service will be an entirely different facility focusing mainly on some calming music for the passengers waiting for flights. With the system in place, the announcements, if any, will become centralized with individual airlines will not need to make announcements.”
