Madrid | January 23, 2025
For the second consecutive year, Envera's hostesses with disabilities are participating these days in Iberia's stand at Fitur. Their function is to support the company's staff in attending to the thousands of visitors who pass through the most important tourism fair in the world during these intense days of public and activity at the Madrid Fairgrounds, IFEMA.
Specifically, fifteen students with intellectual disabilities from Envera's training programs in Madrid (Destino Empleo, Gradúate en ESO and Crece Formándote) are supported by job coaches to perform various customer service tasks at the company's stand: 600 square meters in Hall 10 of IFEMA, which "has been designed to be fully accessible, responding to the needs of people with physical, visual or hearing disabilities".
Envera's flight attendants collaborate at the general information desk and accompany visitors with relevant explanations to those who want to live the flight simulator experience, discover the social impact generated by their trips with the social calculator, explore cities around the world without taking off from IFEMA or try other available services such as seat selection through virtual reality. All this with the efficient Airbus A321XLR, the first aircraft of its generation, as the protagonist.
Envera's presence at the Iberia stand began on Wednesday with the inauguration of the 45th edition of Fitur by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, who visited the space and were received by Iberia's president, Marco Sansavini.
Subsequently, the Iberia stand also hosted a special Dis-Friendly Tour program. special Tour Dis-Friendlyproduced by Envera for Radio Viajera, the world's largest travel podcast platform.
This collaboration, which will continue tomorrow and in the afternoon until next Sunday, when the Fair closes its doors, is another example of the commitment and social responsibility of the main Spanish airline company with social sustainability, integral accessibility and labor inclusion, sustainable development objectives in whose impact it has been a pioneer since Envera was created 48 years ago at the initiative of its employees.
Today, more than 400 workers with disabilities from Envera's Special Employment Centers work to serve Iberia with the cartoning of cutlery kits for in-flight service, the production of toiletry bags for travelers, the cleaning of seat linen, the management of rejected airline ticket errors, the production of airplane engines through the selection of hardware kits or the recycling of materials.
