As they peeped out of the aircraft window, they expressed their joy. Vaishnavi, a ninth standard student expressed that her dream of taking a flight at least once during her lifetime was realised through TruJet.

Another student, Durgadevi, described it as an awesome experience, and that she wasn’t scared travelling in the aircraft.
