Passenger Experience Week supports Orbis for the second year running

As Charity Partner for Passenger Experience Week 2019, Orbis will have an opportunity to reach new supporters and raise awareness.

From the 1- 4 April 2019, the Orbis UK team will be exhibiting at the Passenger Experience Week conference in Hamburg Messe, thanks to the generosity of organisers Reed Exhibitions and Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX).

With around 18,000 visitors attending Passenger Experience Week’s revered Passenger Experience Conference (PEC), Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE) and Passenger Technology Solutions (PTS), the event presents a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the issue of avoidable blindness and our work across the world. Over the four days, Orbis will be promoting our unique Flying Eye Hospital, in addition to our award-winning online training and mentoring platform, Cybersight.

Nilly Sutton, Head of Corporate Partnerships for Orbis UK, said:

“Partnering with Passenger Experience Week is a fantastic platform for us to raise awareness of our services among the aviation, rail and cruise industries.

At Orbis, we believe that no-one should be blind due to lack of qual­i­ty eye care. With the num­ber of peo­ple affect­ed by avoid­able blind­ness due to triple by 2050, our work has nev­er been more vital. We hope our part­ner­ship with Pas­sen­ger Expe­ri­ence Week will encour­age oth­ers to come and talk to us and find out how they can get involved in elim­i­nat­ing avoid­able blind­ness together.

Speaking about the partnership, Polly Magraw, Event Director of AIX, added:

“Over the past five years alone, Orbis has delivered over 28.6 million medical or optical treatments, over 15.7 million eye exams and over 386,000 eye surgeries or laser treatments either on-board the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital or through Orbis supported health facilities, and we are delighted to be helping the charity continue this fantastic work around the globe.”

We will be at stand number 4UE30 - so if you are attending, please pop by and say hello!
