   • Assure all stakeholders that no punitive action will be taken for safety-related disclosures unless they involve unlawful acts, gross negligence, or intentional violations of regulations or procedures.
   • Invite our passengers to actively participate in our safety mission by reporting any deficiencies they observe during their journey through designated channels. Their valuable feedback will be treated with the utmost respect and addressed promptly.
3. Empowering through training
