Rebecca Cronin, CEO of Orbis UK said: “We are immensely grateful to Passenger Experience Week for choosing Orbis to as its charity partner.

On the stand, Orbis staff will offer attendees a virtual tour of their M.D.-10 aircraft. To learn more about Orbis and its work, attendees can visit their stand located in hall B2U03 in AIX. The partnership with Passenger Experience Week will provide Orbis with a platform to fundraise and promote its inspiring work to the thousands of attendees and hundreds of exhibiting companies that are present at the show each year. Flying Eye Hospital programmes take place in partnership with local hospitals, transferring skills into the facilities so that eye-care teams can help more people struggling with avoidable vision loss within their communities. The aircraft, which features a classroom at the front of the plane, also has an operating theatre, pre and post-op spaces and a laser eye suite. This is undertaken through the support of their Flying Eye Hospital, the world’s only accredited ophthalmic hospital onboard an M.D.-10 aircraft. The international charity provides communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America with access to high-quality eye care, fighting avoidable blindness and restoring vision for those who need it most.
