Foundation For Aviation & Sustainable Tourism (Fast)

Foundation For Aviation & Sustainable Tourism (Fast) is based at C-4, Sector-12 in RK Puram. This part of New Delhi is pretty green and has a lot of government housing nearby. Our office is a straightforward setup where we look at things related to planes and how tourism affects the environment. It sounds like big talk, but mostly it’s just us sitting at computers and reading through long reports. The rooms are filled with stacks of papers and books about travel and ecology. We’ve been in Sector-12 for a while, and it’s a good spot because it’s relatively quiet, which helps when you’re trying to concentrate on data. We don't have a lot of walk-in visitors, it's mostly people we’ve known for years in the industry. The air conditioner in the main room hums a bit too loud sometimes, but we don't mind it. Our day-to-day is about organizing small meetings or writing down our thoughts on how things are changing in the aviation world. We aren't a big corporation with fancy lobbies. It’s just a group of people in an ordinary office trying to make sense of things. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but the work we do inside is what matters to us. We just keep going, day after day, looking at the same four walls and working through the files on our desks. It’s a steady, quiet kind of life here.
