planeclear's Vision of Helping ORBIS
ORBIS is pleased to welcome its newest member into the ORBIS Advocate for Sight community. planeclear, a private jet charter membership company based in New York City, will now be supporting ORBIS by actively raising awareness among its client base in the aviation industry about our sight-saving efforts on behalf of the world's blind and visually disabled.
Like ORBIS, planeclear has taken an innovative idea and turned it into reality. planeclear’s unique charter membership model links private aviation passengers with aircraft throughout the country so that they can enjoy a safe, comfortable trip without the hassles associated with other forms of air travel. planeclear takes care of all the details – from safety inspections to flight planning – providing passengers with a worry-free trip from beginning to end.
ORBIS has long been involved with the aviation industry and is excited to extend its reach to planeclear’s clientele. The ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital – the only one of its kind in the world – is a unique example of how aviation technology can be used to bring much-needed humanitarian services to the areas of the world that need it most. By helping ORBIS spread awareness of sight-threatening diseases and garner support for our eye care programs, planeclear is another example of how the aviation community is partnering with ORBIS in its efforts to eradicate avoidable blindness worldwide.
 "It's a bold and daring approach to use an airplane to deliver the gift of sight, and to further use it to draw attention to the tragic human cost of unnecessary blindness," says James Chitty, president of planeclear. "For many years I've admired the work of ORBIS International and am pleased to showcase this noble endeavor to planeclear’s network of clients."
Plans are in the works for planeclear to help ORBIS promote World Sight Day, an annual day of awareness held on the second Thursday of October, to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment. Stayed tuned for more info...
