Indian domestic airline Air Sahara has launched a month-long in-flight music festival.

In a move to de-stress the airline's corporate clients, Air Sahara has placed musicians on its flights. The in-flight music - which began on 1 February - features young musicians performing solo on journeys between major cities such as Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore and Calcutta.

The airline inaugurated the festival with violinist Franko, who performed western and Indian classical numbers on a flight from Delhi to Bombay, Reuters reported.
